Daydreams and Reality

I daydreamed about getting out of Standish.

The reality is that I’ll miss the local restaurants, and walking trails.

I daydreamed about peeling out of my office parking lot, while cranking Bon Jovi’s “Have A Nice Day” on my last day of work.

The reality is that I’ll miss everyone, and that I’ve been tearing up a little while saying some goodbyes.

I daydreamed about living close to my mother-in-law, especially since I’m not too close to most of the family members I live near now.

The reality is that  I’m still happy about living with my mother-in-law, but I’m finding that some goodbyes are hard.  Especially with elderly relatives that I might very likely never see again.

We daydreamed about moving to Wilmington on June 30^th, taking the summer off, and going on an RV trip across the country with my mother-in-law.  That has become a reality, and the happiness that reality will bring us far outweighs any hard goodbyes.
