Back to my "roots"...

Have you ever seen the movie French Kiss? Kate (played by Meg Ryan) is terrified of flying, but forced into doing so in a desperate attempt to chase after her fiancé, Charlie who has fallen for a beautiful French woman in Paris. Anyway, Kate boards the plane and attempts to mentally find her “happy place” as a coping mechanism to assist in concurring her fear. Kate finds her stone cottage. I find this…




Lassing Pointe Golf Course.


Beautiful! As most of you know, David and I met and fell in love at the golf course. As a matter of fact, I stumbled onto this the other day. I cannot believe it still exists after all this time, but I’m grateful nonetheless…



This photo is from the day our relationship escalated to the “more than friends” level. 8/10/1998



We were located directly in front of the Turf Center at Lassing. And that memory is just one of literally THOUSANDS I cherish from there.


And now I’m back baby!!!.


With the cost of everything going up I decided I’d better find a second job to assist in my “gas and go-out” money as I call it. Naturally, the golf course was my first choice and luckily they were glad to have me back. You can find me there in the pro shop on Wednesday and Sunday evenings and I absolutely LOVE being there.


Last night as I was vacuuming up popcorn on the floor that the league had left behind it dawned on me. It hurts worse to go out and NOT find Mr. Perfect than it does not having someone to share my life with. I truly need to stop pressuring myself to find “that guy” and just be. I have amazing memories, great family members, great friends and great neighbors. It is freakin summer (almost) and I LOVE the outdoors. I refuse to let this get me down. I refuse to hurt when there is so much life out there to find fun in even if I’m rolling solo doing so. What is meant to be will be – right!?!


NO MORE SELF TORTURE!!!!


I now have my “happy place” back…


Time to HAVE FUN!!! ;)




Have a great weekend,


Amy
