I took a "personal day" today and went out to Tybee Island. What a gorgeous day!! I have also been wanting to experiment with my camera a little bit, so I found the option to do black and white photos. I think it turned out pretty well. As I was sitting on the swing, I came to the realization that I don't need the BS that has been handed down to me. I have decided that God will not put on me what He doesn't think that I can't handle. I gave myself a little reflecting time and it worked today. Yeah, you know, tomorrow is Valentine's Day and David proposed to me 8 years ago, but I am going to make the best of it. And as my mom says, make it an "un"engagement party tomorrow. I think she may be right.
After I left Tybee, I went downtown and sat on the Savannah River. This is what I am going to miss the most about living here. Savannah is the 4th busiest shipping port in the US and I am going to miss the large ships gliding gracefully down the river. I think I will treat myself to beignets and coffee at Huey's Sunday morning in hopes that I may catch another ship coming or going. It doesn't matter to me. It really is a lot of fun to watch the ships.
All in all, I think today was necessary for me to come to grips with the things that I can't change. I am proud of the fact that I have been a wife and was able to support David in his endeavors. But this is about me now. I have to pick up the slack in watching out for me. No problem. I can do that. And with the family and friends that are supporting me, I know that I am going to be just fine.
Atagirl, Diamond - I like reading the positive attitude from you! Tampa is a pretty happenin' port, too - and there is a great mexican restaurant overlooking the water at Channelside (I think it is Channelside anyway), and you used to work in a building right on the waterway that goes through Tampa, too! I'm glad you took time out for you, and enjoyed your Tybee time, too! *smile* Gab atcha in person soon! ~Kat
