I am a person that needs to feed my brain. I need adventures and interesting things to do and read. Not unlike most folks, my day-to-day life is boring. I work at a job I don't really like much, I am in a holding pattern waiting to hear whether or not I have been accepted into the nursing program. I have cleaning to do, cooking to do, and a dog to walk. I have found something that helps relieve the drudgery. I plan little get-aways so that I have something to look forward to. I like to travel. It's a recent development for me. I was the recipient of a wonderful Christmas gift, a round trip ticket to Denver Colorado, to visit my kids. I was stuck at the airport for 12 hours in January and had to lose a day by overnighting in Baltimore so I was given a voucher to fly again. I took a second trip to Colorado in August to see my kids again. It was awesome! Just being able to see different things and experience different things was such a lift. Now that flying anywhere is not in the works, I have found that little day trips are an excellent substitute. Very recently, I took a trip to East Tawas Michigan. I got to see the Lake Huron shoreline, a lighthouse, and a creepy old cemetery. My next trip will be to Alpena Michigan for a shipwreck tour in a glass bottomed boat. I have also started to plan a trip to a ghost town called Pere Cheney near Grayling Michigan. If I am accepted into nursing clinicals (God willing, I pray), I will not have time to go anywhere except the library. I just feel the need to have a little bit of fun once in awhile. Lately, my dream life and writing is far more interesting than anything in real life. Travel is my attempt to keep from sliding into deep depression. It's cheaper than therapy and healthier for me than pills, so............
