... and now for something completely different...

Yeah, so I was writing something on another website. It was an email to be precise, but I've abandoned that at this point. Yeah... Whatever I was trying to reach out with was cut off at it's proverbial knees. No, thank you.

My life is going pretty well these days. I'm moving back to the theory that the more people I am around who are positive, the better my life will become. It's true. I've gotten a lot closer with one woman. I have so much respect for her and improvements she's making in her life. She is one of the few people who I feel really comfortable around. We've even danced. She makes me happy. We went out last weekend with another woman who is really a fair-weather friend. It was the best night I've had in ages. We had a great time. If my brochitis wasn't acting up this week, I think we'd probably do something this weekend too. Maybe in a week or two. She loves to be with people doing something for the first time and she's from here originally, so there are a lot of things I've never done that she's interested in showing me. It's gonna be great!

I'm very self protective at the moment, but I think I have the right to be. I'm really looking forward to getting out there and meeting some new people, doing things with the people I already have met, and making the best of my days. In between bouts of illness, of course. At least it gives me something to really look forward to. People are inviting me to do things with them. It's so nice! My husband's friend is back from Iraq too, so we might see him and his wife soon. I have the urge to travel... unfortunately I do have to make a family trip in November, but I'm thinking I may travel South at some point... maybe Georgia. Next year, I'm gonna grab a couple female friends and go somewhere... hopefully I'll be able to afford somewhere nice. If not, maybe we'll just go camping(at a plush place of course).

I'm going to go take a nice, hot bath to get the steam in my lungs, read a little bit (I need to finish that book because I have more to read), and then I'm going to go to bed early so I can enjoy my weekend. If I'm feeling better next week, I'm going to start exercising again.

I'm dragging myself out of my depression... at least fall is my favorite time of year... Wind in my hair, leaves swirling... Oh yeah... there's that blue sky again. No sunshine, but at least I can see past the clouds.

It's like an amusement park. Come with me and enjoy the ride, or wave at me from the cement while I get thrilled.
