I am at the end of a short break from my busy life. I participated in an athletic event with my peers (read seniors). I had a great time being physical and competitive. I played hard and won some and lost some. It is great to see old friends and listen to their stories. It is amazing what tragedies that people live thru and still manage to have fun. I really needed a break from work and it will be busy when I get back but I think that I reclaimed myself by leaving for a couple of days. I was also calmer and I think that it was because of what I have learned in Alanon. Just let go for a while. Of course, old friends asked about my husband. I found myself actually telling the truth - he's gone, he just walked out the door. Most saw what I couldn't see and were not that surprised. But they all wished me well.
Catching up on everyone's posts. We will all make it one way or another.
Brava young lady! I am taking my vacation the last week of Ocotober because I can gear up for the holidays. I'm not going anywhere, but I intend to get a few things done and do for me that week.
Love and blessings to you.
Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
