new directions

It's been a long time since I posted anything. A lot has changed. I have emptied my house in preparation of renting it out. The only job I was able to find was a store clerk job, part time. It has kept me afloat while I made preparations to move. My daughter needs a "grandma nanny" for my 10 year old grandson so I'm packing up my pick up and moving to Idaho. It's an adventure...I've never been to Idaho. Ever since my daughter joined the Air Force I confess to falling prey to envy of all the moms who have children "right around the corner". I am looking forward to finally having a day to day relationship with my daughter and her family. As in most decisions there is a downside. I will be leaving behind the grandson who lives here and has been such a big part of my life for the last 11 years. It feels sometimes like I am abandoning him. Hopefully I can skype, IM and email him enough so he won't feel like I no longer care what happens to him. Florida has been my home for over 20 years and I do love it. This modest little double wide has been my sanctuary for the 6 years since my divorce and I know I will miss it and my wonderful friends and my church. No change comes without some regret.
