Hello all - back again for a short visit.
TH - something you said in one of your posts just verbalized all that has been running thru my head for the last 6 wks. Thank you. I'll give you the short version...
Spent 3 wks in Italy in March - just me and the kids - oy. Since returning, I have NOT been able to get back into the groove....actually a little bitter about the daily grind. I had the luxury of stepping out of my life for a few weeks and really enjoyed it. My thought was that I would return with a clear head, rested psyche and energized outlook....but it didn't happen. Now I realize that it did happen....but it has nothing to do with clearing my head for work.
Tried to explain to my husband but couldn't isolate the root cause. You nailed it w/unnecessary conflict, stress, politics, etc. I am just not willing to invite those things back into my life again. TH - thank you so much, your post is exactly it. My sec'ty mentioned this week that she couldn't understand why I was grousing because I've been really productive.
TH - I raise my bottle, er, glass, of Yellow Tail merlot in your honor.
John Galt - next time you're in the city, have a slice @ Uno's for me or pick up a dog (no ketchup,pls) @ Portillo's. It's been almost a year since my last visit.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to iron my dryer sheets. Debbie
