In Gloria's Place I can be a mom, a woman, a daughter, a wife, a writer, a customer, an observer and a person all at the same time, without judgement or remorse.
Many things have happened in the past few months that have sent me into deep depression, and anger and then back up again into happy sunny rainy days. Today was one of those good days when plans to go to the beach didn't work out because of the weather, but because I'm a resourceful person I found another outing for my family and surprisingly it didn't cost a dime (not even for parking). I am so grateful for the free programs that allow families to enjoy museums, attractions, etc once a week or more. Without these programs many families would be left at home in the rain or depressed from lack of money for leisurly activities. I am grateful for the sponsors and the volunteers that provide the funding to these programs. And I am grateful that today my husband, my children and I were able to enjoy these types of things before he is deployed in January. I will be on an emotional rollercoaster for a while because of this and other matters, but at least today was a good day.
I'm glad you had a nice time and am sorry you have been having problems. I understand as I have been having some struggles of my own. My prayers will be with you and your family as your husband gets ready to be deployed.
