Dear Diary,

Today I woke up refreshed and happy. I actually felt energetic enough to do some major cleaning. It's good to feel like my old self again. I

never would have believed that my poor eating habits would cause so much angst and despair.

I was even energetic enough to visit my niece and her two boys. I get such joy from seeing them. For awhile there I didn't want to do much socializing. I didn't want to see anybody. It was just too much of an effort. My bounce was gone.

Now I see light at the end of this tunnel. I'm coming out the other side. Thank you God.

I started listening to a book on CD called A Significant Life By Jim Graff while driving to my niece's house. I came accross it while looking for a CD to listen to while driving. This caught my eye and I believe I was meant to hear it. It was no accident.

I am at a crossroad in my life. I've been musing about returning to school to get a degree, meanwhile my husband wants to quit his job and move to the boondocks. He's so close to getting his full retirement I think he should just finish up at his current job and move if he still really wants to. I told him I do not want move out there. I enjoy being around people and I wouldn't see my family as much as I do now. I don't want to live in a place that is so rural and not even green. Just desolate space with a bunch of boulders and very little vegetation. Not to mention extreme heat in the summer. Not my idea of paradise. I love my husband, we've been together since I was 20, I really think he's going througfh a midlife crisis now, I keep hoping he'll get over it. I don't want to be living separately but it may come to that.

Well now I'm off to bed. Stay well friend.:mad:
