A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the eerie thoughts that had been running through my mind and found out it was all due to menopause. Since then, I had been thinking back to when I had these similar thoughts, but I just couldn’t pinpoint when that was. As I continued racking my... Continue Reading →
She is in his country – only an arm’s-length away
She is now in his country after four years and even though she is approximately 300 miles away from where he lives, he is using excuses as to why he cannot see her. He had three months to plan for her arrival knowing she was going to be in his country for the entire summer.... Continue Reading →
Saying Good-Bye – Greece Bound
It has been an emotional couple of days for me. I had to drive my daughter to Denver which was a seven hour drive to get to the hotel before putting her on her flight. We tried to make the best of it as we love road trips, but deep down inside I was not... Continue Reading →
