Not to be a downer or anything, but that is how I feel these days. "It ain't like it used to be." Of course, nothing is. Nothing stays the same and I understand that it can't. However, I am feeling like things all around me changing, and not necessarily for the better. I realize that I tend to overly romanticize the past . . . my rose colored glasses are securely on my face. But . . . it sure seems like life was easier and better back then.
Maybe it's all the news that makes up the news these days (our broken government, being at the very top of my list). Maybe it's just the "dog days" of summer. Maybe it's the fact that my baby is a senior in high school and ALL that that entails. Maybe it's this drought and the 31 days of 100 degree plus temps in Texas. Maybe it's the fact that my work environment is going to dramatically change (and I mean DRAMATICALLY) in 29 days, 8 hours and 29 minutes. Maybe it's all the road construction around my town. Maybe it's all the construction on campus. Maybe it's a new elementary school which was built in what was a cow pasture at the end of my mom & dad's road. Maybe it's the fact that "town" is creeping ever closer to my "country" home. Maybe it's all of the above and more that I have me feeling this way.
Maybe I need a vacation from my reality for a few days. Don't really see one of those in my immediate future. Guess I'll have to figure out another strategy . . . maybe a trip to "Margaritaville" would help to ease the pain.
