that would certainly help me deemphasize the focus on all of the bad in life right now. I talked with my friend Tarah today about going to visit her in Oklahoma next month. It’s about a 13 hour drive, but I’ve done it before so I know what I’m in for. Anyway, she is lonely because her husband is stationed four hours away for the next six months due to training, and I am in need of a visit with my good friend right now. I think it would do us some good. Plus, our dogs love each other, so my little beagle would be happy as a clam to see his girlfriend again. Maybe, just maybe…
