A Positive Change

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

One major change which I believe was cataclysmic to my being who I am today is that I stopped drinking.

During my youth, my 20s and most of my 30, alcohol had been my best friend and then my worst enemy.

It came before my child, my parents, my siblings, my friends, my work and just about everything in my life.

I was not a good mother, a good daughter, a good sister, a good friend, or a good worker.

At the age of 37 I had enough. I started a journey of recovery and now 35 years later I am a good person, a kind person, a loving person.

I’m a good mother and also a good grandmother. I was able to be a good daughter until my mother died.

So one change! This was a life-altering change that I have never regretted.

In 2015, I retired and set out to do as much traveling as I could. I started the blog on our first, month-long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and me on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity for it. So here we are. I invite you to join the fouramigos blog on our next destination.
