New Thoughts

I am usually a positive person so doing a posting a day would be a rather negative journey.  Raising a very good teenager should be a piece of cake.  But, my very good teenager is also an opinionated, stubborn, non-communicative, strong willed young woman.  There is no real talking to he, she knows everything, she is always right and she has to have the last word.  It makes documenting the positive difficult.  Perhaps I should change my journey from 'A Thought A Day' to "Find a Positive Memory Every Day'. 

New Day

Oh, perhaps it is really happening. I think Amanda is in the process of breaking up with Josiah.  I hope so.  She has spent the last 18 months in a texting relationship.  How can this be real? And I feel like Josiah has become obsessed with Amanda.  It doesn't appear like he has any social life other than her....he texts her 24/7!  I'm sure he is a nice kid but not for her. 

Mike did his research and found one of the best places for lobster rolls. We left the airport and made a beeline for The Lobster Shack at Two Lights in Cape Elizabeth. The restaurant sits at the edge of the ocean and the view is just spectacular. It's sad that we can't sit at the colorful picnic tables and listen to the crashing waves and calls of the seagulls. Instead we watched from inside while devouring the best lobster rolls!

I opened the door this morning and the heat and humidity, even at 5:00 a.m. descended on me and actually made it difficult to take a deep breath. Florida was in the midst of a record setting heat wave and the heat index was in the triple digits! Imagine our delight when we deplaned in Portland, Maine and found the temperature to be a cool 65 degrees! Of course, it was also overcast and rainy.
