I can't believe that I have been awake all night.  Can't sleep.  Too much on my mind.  Husband and I are moving to Montana.  I am leaving my daughter and son-in-law in Georgia.  Will miss her tremendously.  However, she will be going to med school next fall and will be very busy with the next stage of her life.  OT and I will be making another big change/move in our lives.  We are planning to help run a restaurant for my sister.  It is a small restaurant in a small town but it seems to be just the right speed for us.

We have lived in Washington and Oregon and loved the environment.  After spending 24 years in Atlanta, I believe that moving to a town of 400 people should be a real culture shock.  Am definitely looking forward to it.  I'll let you know how it goes. 

I spent a long time conversing with my upstairs neighbor and discovered that we have alot in common.  Wish we had taken the time to get better acquainted a year ago.  I believe that we will keep in touch via email.  It is a great feeling to run into a kindred spirit.

Maybe I can go to sleep now.  Namaste.  zera

Hey!  How is everyone.  I just found my old friend Anoka on line.  Guess now I need to look up all my other dear friends and perhaps spend some time renewing olf friendships.

Last blog I stated that I was fired without casue while I was out on disability.  Well, the EEOC has taken my suit and is setting up a date for arbitration.  Never thought I would sue anybody.  But being fired for no reason is not fair. 

My daughter is applying to various medical schools and completing a ton of applications.  She will be off on her new adventure next fall (2011).

OT and I are moving to Ashland, Montana.  Bet that is a surprise.  When we moved from Oregon to Atlanta GA 24 years ago, I was in total culture shock for quite a few years.  There were just too many people.  Well, today there are still too many people (abt 6,000,000) and I long for open space and practically no people nearby.  Will keep you informed about the changes.

I wanted to make this note to myself from one of my notebooks that I am throwing out.  It is just a bit of information on Mothers Day.

The original Mother's Day proclamation was written by Julia Ward Howe in 1870.  It was a call to gather the women of all nationalities together to bring peace to humanity.  "If ever there is a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of (hu)mankind, it will be a force such as the world has ever seen."  -- Matthew Arnold.

I am waiting for this coming together.  I believe our country and the world needs peace.
