Seperation Anxiety

It would be untruthful for me to write that this choice of lifestyle is all rosy. From an expense standpoint...it's up there. More importantly, from an emotional point, it can be tough.
Some of you who live in a traditional home may be thinking, "well yes Lisa, what were you thinking living on a vessel, on the ocean, that is 55 long x 17 wide".
It's not the space f which I speak today. It's separation from several important things:
Family
Parenta
Friends
And even pets
I have found that it's not my home or the town in which I was raised that I miss. And certainly, I don't miss being a business owner. (although, I do miss many customers and all the employees).
This weekend, we flew into Indy to spend time with family as well as with our precious grandson who will celebrate his 4th birthday on Super Bowl Sunday. We both had hopes and expectations that we would pick him up from school and take him home (which is a place he knows very very well). We hoped that we would read stories and he would then sleep in the bedroom which has been converted many times since we built this house in 1986 and is now "our grandsons bedroom". But alas....
Dinner was over, bath time was over, story time was over, yogurt time was over. But then came the unexpected. "I want mommy and daddy".
What? He didn't want to stay with his GG and Papaw? Nope!
I have to realize, while we e only been gone a bit I our measurement of time....it's a lot in a Childs mind. So the expectations clearly differ.
The next item is pet separation. I have had one cat since he was 5 weeks old and he is now 11. I left him in a "Pet Resort " for the first time ever. One might not think this is a big deal but it's kinda weird when I stir at night and rea
Ize that he's not sleeping on my legs.
My point of this blog is hopefully clear. If you choose a u Kaye and different lifestyle from that which you've k own for 30 years or so...please know, and prepare, there will be some separation anxiety.
But, it's still all good.
Peace, Lisa
