There are a host of things that I should be doing right now and none of them involve updating my blog. This week, I am getting ready to set out on a new adventure but I secretly have a heavy heart. My daughter's best friend is getting ready to move across town and start Kindergarten this week. The going off to school part is bad enough but the move across town makes me sad. It is for all the right reasons and there is nothing to say that we can't join them but it brings about a lot of change at our house.
I might be handling it better if my daugther's other best friend was not contemplating a move across the country. Again, it is a great opportunity and a move for all the right reasons in the long run but the short term is hard on the heart. I have no room to talk as I have moved to another part of the country on more than one occassion. I think I would handle it all a little better if I could fly more easily. I am still trying to make it to NC and I am quite sure my name is muddy in OH by now.
A few of my friends from college are trying to plan a fall adventure. I gave the one date that we don't have Chinese class and they are working out a location. It is just a little hard for me to plan. I am all about getting together as long as I am healthy and stay healthy. I can still remember my friend's voice when I had to cancel the trip we planned for our 30th birthday. She was a trooper and drove to my house arriving very late at night as she said we were going to celebrate anyway.
So, for a few days, we are going to pack up and relish in the fantasy that vacation has to offer. I hope to leave my heavy heart at the airport and try not to pick it up when we get home. Your friends really are your friends wherever you live. It just takes a little bit more effort and a good phone plan.
Blessings,
Cindy
Well my dear you have no idea how hard it us for us, the only saving grace is we've been so busy trying to make it all work that I only dwell on it all at night. Hoping to finally sleep without guilt sometime in the future. I will be busy scheming on how we are going to get you to join us and when I set my mind to something there is no stopping me so you might as well get use to the idea of heading west ;-) You can leave your heavy heart at the airport and dance a little with Mickey and the gang. Wish we were there with you!!! See you guys soon, we'll be back on weekends remember!
