Well, some of you may not know it but KY, USA and my town was hit by a very bad ice storm. That's the bad. It got ugly with no power, water, etc for 7 days for me, 6 days for my grandmother and my son still doesn't have it. About 3 days into it, with 15 people living in one house, no access to food, money, or gas, kerosene, or other fuels (closest place over 1 hour away)....I said.....Let's go to Florida. We left last Thursday and got back today. Wow! I needed that - a vacation - it was unplanned, unscripted but a great time, didn't spend much money, took in Disney World with the 2 year old granddaughter and the 98 year old grandmother, my son and his wife. Rented a condo, did a bit of shopping. And took both (granddaughter and grandmother) to see the Atlantic ocean for the 2nd time each! What a wonderful trip, I feel alive, refreshed, renewed and you know the material things here (damage to house, all refrigerated food perished - it ain't nothing). lol, more ugly - I had bills when I got home. lol Life back to the old grindstone and I may actually be looking forward to it. I hope that we can get my son's electricity on - there were 700,000 people in KY without electricity. It's been declared a National Disaster. I know it's horrible.....but my success is feeling alive, renewed, refreshed and planning another vacation soon!
. Hope many more vacations are in your future!
