Trip to PA

Once again it has been a long time since I last blogged. My trip to PA is done and over with. It was a great trip. I got to see or talk to most everyone that I wanted to which was good. It was so good to see my son, Joel and meet his new girlfriend, Nicole. I really think that they make a good pair and hope that this may be the one. Joel looks and is doing very well and it makes my heart glad. As the plane approached Pittsburgh airport, I felt very emotional and on the verge of tears. It was wonderful seeing my dear friend, Helen waiting for me at the baggage claim area. The visit felt indeed like a visit and not a return home. Going to the church that I have belonged to for 28 years was good, sad, and yet I felt more like a visitor. Everyone was happy and surprised to see me. The main feeling that was dominant was negativity. It has been almost a year since I left and it seems like the same issues are still ongoing. Most everyone there is downtrodden and negative. It is soo sad. I am however not there any more. My life here is positive and joyful. It is hard to be negative about anything here for any length of time. I know without a doubt that this was indeed the right move for me. It was also the right move for Joel too. I just wish that things would improve and turn positive for those back in New Kensington.
Thank you God for my new home and my new attitude and for all the many blessings you have bestowed on my.
