BArb, I hope you get all the appreciation and recognition you deserve for Mother's day. Perhaps this year it won't slide by them.....learning from last year! It really was great getting to hang out with you in FLA. I might be back down in July, but I know you will be taking care of your cottages way up north!
Cadet, Thank you. The way I look at things is so much different these days. I will slip into old patterns when I feel rejected, that's still a trigger to me. But when I get my head on straight, I can see things a little more clearly. I used to think love conquers all, but really, circumstance has to be there too. As painful as it is, we can meet someone we love and not just not be able to have them.
And good news is I called the airline and they said they would take my passport with my married name, and the photocopy of my name change. Woohoo!
I feel like I spent all my money already, and I am supposed to be going to Disney in July for a friend's 40th! I am fortunate to be a single woman with so many fun travel offers from friends, but my bank account hurts! I'll figure it out though. Israel may not work out, but if it does, then it was meant to be.
