we're off!

Well i've only worked 8 days and i am already on vacation!!!  It was part of the deal since i already had this trip and our puerto rico in feb planned.  I am ready.  What's on my mind now it writing a thank you note to my self - i wrote to my friend but  my therapist suggested i write one for myself.  She said it would be really difficult but i will try because everything else she recommends works so far.  She also suggested that tony and i not dread or avoid holiday celebrations but rather not attend and go some where just the 2 of us. She says the holidays are not about being somewhere that makes you sad, being with people who've hurt you or bring you down.  She said if you just have to go just drop in on your way to somewhere exciting and get outta there.  So i talked it over with tony and we are going away thanksgiving and Christmas - starting a new tradition just him and me!  I'm excited.  Well i need to pack so i'm post again soon and see how that thank you note goes!  Now that i've said it i have to do it!
