Monday, June 2, 2009 -- Oh Yes!

I do not know why I always choose to write at night... I'm sleepy, eyes are pasty, not finished packing, and I have an early flight! UGH!

This traveling thing is really soothing for me. So many questions and doubts when I chose to move to the country, but I knew it was the thing to do. Somehow, I knew that returning to my horses and the smell of pinetrees and my Granny's house would rejuvenate the true Sharby. D-town I could stand no more! Oh, please believe it's been rough... O.K. rough is an understatement. (And if you've read the book Black Pain, you know exactly what I am referring to.) Eitherway, I'm moving through it. It took all of 7 months, but finally, I'm thinking the smoke is clearing.

Went to see Sex and the City this weekend. Good girl flick. Good flick for 'thought.' (In the midst of daily doses of Anderson Cooper 360 I needed a little 'chick flick' time.) Carrie posed an interesting question to the gals: "Will I ever laugh again?" I nearly laughed... at her! 6 months ago, laughing was a rarity for me too. Hell, waking up was hard to do, so her statement hit home. Made me think. Made me remember, reflect, and rekindle my love of laughter.

My Houston trip was fantastic... (understatement again) I have no words at 12:25 am, so, today we'll stick with fantastic. Houston had become a city of angst for me. I abhor the I-45 drive from D-town to H-town and I was starting to abhor the view of I-45 South at the 59 interchange. That little section on 288 from Southmore to MacGregor... hated it. U of H is not my cup of tea. BUT this weekend changed that I think. The smoke, oh yes baby, the smoke is clearing. Wasn't bothered by my view of Rice or UofH from my hotel room at 59 and Kirby. I think Maze said it best, "Happy feelings in the air...."

I think my LA adventure will be just as grand. Well, maybe not as grand, but nice nonetheless! Oh, isn't it nice when you can see clearly and the roses actually have a scent and the birds actually sing a beautiful song? Yup, my tune has changed. Didn't think the day would come, did you?

Hmph... me either.
