A few changes

Remember when I told you I was starting to realize that I was lonely? Well, that really took me on a wild head trip. I mean, not only did I have this new realization to contend with, but it scrambled a lot of my thinking with regard to solo travel.the-computer-demands-a-blog

So, I haven’t got it all figured out yet, but I do know one new thing – my husband and I are moving in together. We’ve been together almost constantly for the last few weeks and it has been wonderful.

He is a big supporter of my travel plans, but how that will work is in flux right now. I’ve always been the itinerant traveler, with him catching up with me in random spots, so my new plan will probably still be some approximation of that.

All I know is that right now I just want to hang out with him.

I really feel like these giant blocks of ice are just falling off of me. It is like I have been in a frozen emotional state for the last two to three years and didn’t even know it. I mean, the evidence was there that I was withdrawing, but I had no idea how bad it had gotten until I’d started to come out of it.

    Hello Jen!

    Missed you, glad you are back on track in your life. I’m happy you are letting the ice chunks fall, and have found solace in the one person in your life that should be there, your husband.

    I would not worry so much about the trip at this point, looks like you have some sorting to do first.

    Good luck and keep posting when you can!

    Cheers!

    *big grins!* Hi Jennifer! Looks like life is just happening…your last sentence says a lot. No one can ever really see how bad something is until they get out of it or change something. Glad you can ’see’ again.

    great news!

    i have always believed that when you follow your heart – it will lead you to the right place… interesting to learn a frozen one may have a different take on things than a thawing one. here’s to staying warm & toasty! ;)

    Hi Jennifer,
    I am so glad to hear that you are doing well. I was a little concerned about you, so I kept checking back. You can see from all the warm comments here that you have a lot of great supporters on line, and they kept checking back too. It sounds like you’ve got a great husband as well. I am very happy for you and wish you all the best.

    Jennifer, how nice to see that things are moving forward for you. Missed reading your post every morning. We’re back in Austin for a couple of weeks, trying to stay warm in the snow. Hope you’re at your husband’s home this week and that’s it’s a little warmer down there. Belva
