A Great Distraction

I just realized something...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO TRAVEL!!! The very idea of it sends my heart into a flutter that is so earth shattering I can barely breath. I get so excited just looking at flights, places to stay, what to do, where to eat...OMG my heart is pounding. I spoke to a friend today and we talked about the idea of taking a trip to Key West or Belize. Seriously, it sent my melancholy mood straight over the rainbow! I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she is first skipping down the yellow brick road "off to see the wizard..."

Now whether or not this trip will actually come to fruition remains to be seen, obviously. But it certainly gave me something else to focus on besides my feelings of misery. I was going thru all the websites and suddenly I realized I was smiling again. It feels good to be happy. I need this feeling all the time. I'd like to bottle it into an elixir and get drunk off of it daily. This is how I should feel all the time. It's like getting to the top of the roller coaster right before it heads into a deep drop...Pure EXHILARATION AS YOU SCREAM YOUR HEAD OFF DURING THE FREE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's where I am at right now...and I LIKE IT!
