I understand not venturing too far away from home and since my children are in Maryland and Florida, although I miss them tons, I know that I don’t get to go. I do find myself driving to the Mississippi River towns just to sit by the “Mighty”, eat my lunch or snack or read a book and let my mind float away. Then it’s back home and the peace and quiet of my backyard. I’ve had some friends over now and then just to get in real face to face, however that is not the scene everyday. Just remember to be kind to yourself and find an ice cream treats once in awhile.
