Hi tranquility.,...

I just wanted to say that I have isolated from the world for several years. And what I have found that isolation caused me to be more depressed...I did not even comb my hair for days. Guess I let myself go as in stopped wanting to look nice.....I even gained weight. It came to the point I was ashamed for anyone to even see me......

Well, what happened, is a long story, but not boring ....I will spare you the details tho.. Anyway, I recently moved to my son's house. I was really scared moving there. My son does not live there yet, as he won't be moving there till he gets his CS degree, which we hope will be this fall.

Anyway, tons of work needed to be done. Lots of yard work too. I love planting flowers and veggie gardens. Each day I started going outside to do some work.. Next thing I knew I started talking to the neighbors. The neighbors to my left, just bought the house and they are from England. We even started sharing yard tools with each other. Lovely people.. Everyone I met has been so friendly . They said they watch me every day to see what new thing I have done to the yard. And they complement me too... Wow.. I started feeling good about myself.. Even started smiling and combing my hair.

Well, the AC stopped working so I had to move back to where I lived for the past few years. Is a "richer" neighborhood and less friendly. And there is nothing here for me to do to keep me busy. Depression started coming back... Am praying real hard the AC gets fixed this week so I can go home... The AC repairman is coming tomorrow.. Yeahhhhhh.

Although this is a small step, well actually a large step for me, I have found I feel better and am happier when I am not isolating. Ok, so I can't go to stores yet...I am sure I will be bouncing in the departments stores, shopping away.. well maybe in a few months or so..
