The Mississippi River!

Standing in front of the river this afternoon right across from our hotel in Natchez. We had the afternoon off today, so after my workout I toodled about in downtown Natchez.

I realized something remarkable yesterday. I have seen a few reminders of my old life while on this holiday. What thrills me is that not one, NOT EVEN ONE, has made me sad. These reminders left as quickly as they showed up. They were just 'reminders'. They did not floor me in any way, shape or form. This is 'beyond huge'. It makes me very happy. Obviously, I'm healing. Obviously, I'm recovering. Obviously, I'm getting much much better. Sometimes it's hard for me to see the progress I'm making. I was so depressed and so heartbroken for so long, there were times when I thought my life would always just be 'sad'. It doesn't mean that I don't still get sad. I do. Rebuilding a life is not easy. It's hard work. It's just much easier to do though when you can see you're making progress. This trip has confirmed I AM making progress, and that alone has made this adventure......remarkable. It's Thursday, isn't it? That means football and the Big Bang Theory tonight. First things first though, 'dinner out' with some of my travel mates. Have a great evening friends!
