One year ago...

[prosodic]

We had just left Copenhagen and were on our way to Oslo...the beginning of our Baltic cruise.

*sigh*

How different life is now.

When will I get used to it? When will I learn to accept it or even embrace it?

What. Must. I. Do. To. Be. Happy?

That seems to be the big question mark hanging over my head right now.

I need to get out for a walk...clear my head. I'll do that after lunch. Reece is getting restless anyway.

Here's a thought for you.

Have you got a big goal to be working towards ? That sort of thing can often help. At the moment the only thing that you and Lance seem to be working towards is retirement, which is rather a long way off.

I have a big goal in mind, but the steps I must take to get there are out of reach right now financially.

And by that I mean more education and more training. We can't afford any more student loans.

I feel the same way. One year ago exactly I came home from my Alaska cruise and this year, I'm on my last day of my 'staycation". I'm so bored!!

Staycations are what you make of them. I can be perfectly happy getting out and about in Seattle or slightly further afield. I find that truly having quality time on the weekends makes the weeks that much more tolerable.

It sometimes sounds as though you feel like a foreigner in your own country.

I can relate to you in the feeling of discontent where you live. I absolutely hate where I live (and goodness knows how hard I've tried to make the most of it these last few years) and it appears that we'll be here for yet another couple years.

I abhor people telling me that "a place is what you make of it" because that is only true to a point.

I'm not discontent with where I live...I'm more discontent with circumstances in my life.

My life just isn't going how I ever imagined it would go...how I ever planned for it to go.

Where I am isn't really an obstacle to getting where I want to be. Money (or lack thereof) is really the biggest obstacle.
