I couldn’t shake the depression yesterday initially so we skipped the pool party and the cookout. It was really too cold anyway. My daughter wanted to spend time outside so we got some food and some camp chairs and set up by the creek in the park in a secluded spot. We saw fish, all kinds of birds, chipmunks and squirrels. It was pleasant and calming. The great thing is that now I have a place to hide out with my Kindle when life becomes overwhelming. I’m going to make a point of going at least twice a week.

I had a great visit and a great time with my daughter. Usually, I’m bereft when she leaves but this time my heart is just full of memories and gratitude. Could be because I’ve got so much to do right now. It’s back to work on things for me including my brother’s health.

Still considering Florida.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Hugs to all.
