Back to Reality
WOW, how do people recover from such romantic, exotic vacations? The flight home was bittersweet; I loved the time that Frenchie and I spent together in France. It was like a dream that I didn't want to wake up from, not just because it was a lifelong dream of mine to go to Paris with Frenchie and that he planned all of it on his own .... who does that? But also because life in Gilbert is not living in Paris. I didn't think of the VILLAIN or its side effects. I didn't constantly have to think of what I was eating and if I was feeding the VILLAIN with sugar, flour, or anything that touched my lips. It was so lovely for 10 days to fully enjoy, let myself be free, and re-kindle those feelings of young love and the romantic notions of life in a different place, with no worries.
Just as our plane was descending into Phoenix, I looked out the window and heard the pilot say, "Welcome to Phoenix" tears ran down my face; I could not control my emotions. How do I return from such a Heavenly experience to "my life, for real?" Suddenly the thoughts of Mayo Clinic, Doctor's appointments, and medications flooded my brain.
Now that I have had a few days home, I realize just what my husband gave me was an amazing opportunity. It was a blessing for me to let go, and I had forgotten what it was like to be carefree and completely 100% in the moment.
We all have to face hard times in our lives, but it's pleasant to check out once in a while.
