I still feel somewhat carefree and quirky, but my life has changed and I'm still trying to fit into it.<BR/><BR/><I>I am in a funk because I look at the calendar and see that I have crossed the one year mark of living in this part of the world. And I miss home more and more with each passing day. It is as if I refuse to be adaptable. </I><BR/><BR/>Here, I know exactly what you're talking about because until I made my mind up to find a place (here in LA) where I could be happy, I unconsciously refused to adapt. Some of that was divorce, relocation and new job syndrome, but I just felt so ... adrift, like I didn't fit in anywhere anymore. <BR/><BR/>Don't let these feelings get worse, Mary. Go see a professional. I did, and I'm sure doing so saved my life.<BR/><BR/>As for the Riverwalk trails ... have you been to that little park on Lake? (Well, actually Lake changes NAMES once you go past Maysville). Anyway, there's this little park where the Riverwalk begins and on the other side, where the water channel is, is another trail. Ken and I used to walk along those, but that was before they built the New Haven trails. Maybe that will be less used.<BR/><BR/>You could also go walk at the zoo. Just go by yourself. Mary Time, you time? Take it from me, it's to your benefit to try and find the positive. And when you do find just one little inkling of the positive, it's like a little of the weight is being taken off your shoulders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772849.post-1149887146125914282006-06-09T17:05:00.000-04:002006-06-09T17:05:00.000-04:00"I'm an over weight, sock sandal wearing, penny pi..."I'm an over weight, sock sandal wearing, penny pinching old fart."<BR/><BR/>Oh Mary! I think this might be of pandemic proportions. It's spread out to the West Coast too. Should we call the CDC?<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better soon. Hey! Show us a picture of those Crocs, will ya? I have never heard of them until today. I read an article about the company in "Fast Company" and now you mentioned them. :-)Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146718095261185040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772849.post-1149877665587516402006-06-09T14:27:00.000-04:002006-06-09T14:27:00.000-04:00Quite the scary litany.

Those vibes are down here. I actually bought a coin purse this year because I got sick of the loose chain in the bottom of my purse. I'm still occasionally using a cane, and I grump when the car next to me has the music too darn loud. I think I might have been cool for five minutes in my lifetime, but I'm just not ready for old farthood, and I'm already there.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641264346663533706noreply@blogger.com
