Hi again

Hey, sorry it's been so long. I am back home again, and my trip was very good.

In a weird way I feel like I have started to get better at relaxing. I am a person who stresses out and worries about things way to easily. I think I have mentioned before that I tend to over think things. Normally when I got to visit family, I go with others and the whole trip, each day, is planed out, and others do the planing. This time it was just me. I was going to be there for Thanksgiving, but that was the only big event. Often we go for a wedding or something like that. So any extra time that is not spent running about seeing people, is spent helping get ready for the big event. But this time there was none of that. On top of that, I am not as familiar with the roads. I don't know how to get to a lot of people's homes. And I do not enjoy driving, much less somewhere I'm not familiar with. So with my normal over thinking, I feared I would sit around the place I was staying and do nothing. So I did make an effort to get out and about, not letting strange roads and dislike of driving stop me. But my trip was not planed out to the day or minute. And it end up being really good. I did relax a lot in my room, but I needed that too. I got to hang out with the people I wanted to and not spend my time running about trying to see everyone. Honestly I let people know I was coming, and if they did not make the effort to reach out to me, I did not worry about it. It might seem harsh, but I'm also realizing that with growing up so far way and not seeing all these people as often, I am not as close to them anymore. And that is ok. Life moves on, and we all change. And I had a really good time. Now if I can just keep that relaxed state here at home. I need to work diligently but not worry either.

Tomorrow I am having a girl over that I have started to make friends with. We have known each other for a long time, she is several years younger then I am, but we have hit it off recently. We both like anime. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow, and to getting to be better friends with her.

I will try to write next week. Not sure on what yet. I work in a store, and this is the week before Christmas we are talking about here, so...

Anyway until next time, God bless and thank you.
