I'm glad you had writing to turn to in order to help you throught this adjustment in life.<br />When I need a lift, I turn to my friends, usually by phone, but sometimes via email (first). I am blessed to have several good friends in my life, most of whom have been with me since childhood or my early twenties some thirty years ago....Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-36244257712145633692012-08-28T22:26:54.612-07:002012-08-28T22:26:54.612-07:00Hello Anita!

I love to go there to sit and listen to the waterfall,(it's huge!)watch the fish in the huge aquariums, cruise around the store and look at all the stuffed animals, boats, hunting gear, clothes and just soak in the relaxing atmosphere. It is like a big hunting lodge.

It helps me recenter and then I can drive back into the craziness of life. jepebATverizonDOTnetJen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-51992625749933704502012-08-26T02:23:07.021-07:002012-08-26T02:23:07.021-07:00When I need a lift I might read or bake or find a ...When I need a lift I might read or bake or find a new recipe for dinner.<br />mce1011 AT aol DOT comMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392692656456938856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-78282561662213357992012-08-26T02:13:04.383-07:002012-08-26T02:13:04.383-07:00It's tough when they go off to new adventures ...It's tough when they go off to new adventures like college.

We usually draw together, dress up and do some "cooking". I don't let myself be alone when I'm feeling down. It makes everything worst.

There's something about a good nights sleep that is a real pick me up. I am a demon if I don't sleep well, thank goodness I don't have babies any more (just a bed wetting alarm to deal with!) I especially like lying in my bed and hearing the rain battering off the windows - perfect!Scarlet Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784722625468146993noreply@blogger.com
