I’m getting ready to leave for a first.
It’s not really a first, but it’s a first-since-I-had-a-stroke.
I’m getting ready to go away.
Gone for the weekend.
Without my kids.
Or my husband.
This will be the first time since November that I’ve gone on a trip for me without my spouse.
It feels a little scary.
It also feels good.
It has nothing to do with being away from the people I love most.
When that truck pulls out of the driveway it will be towards more independence.
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.

Just don’t go & break your vagina. It made me happy in a tingly way to hug you today.
You are gonna rock it. And even if you don’t, you’re gonna get up and rock it the next day. I am so impressed with the fight inside you, girl.
HAVE A BLAST!
The blast? Will be had tomorrow.

i will and totally am!!
Wow! That is so cool. Sometime I’d like to hear how you handled some of the details like handling baggage and stuff. Traveling alone is something I’d like to do again.
She’s not traveling alone. She has an old friend going with her.
No, I totally didn’t mean to make it sound like I went alone. I took a good friend who helped me.
Wherever you’re going and whoever you’re with, just go and have a great time!
Yay!! Have a great time!
Way to go Anissa. You totally kick ass!
