continued....

Today is Black Friday and I have no desire to holiday shop this year.

It is 20 degrees outside and snow blankets the ground.  I wish I could distract myself by going outside and working in my flower garden, but that won't happen for months.  I moved my bird feeders to the front lilac bushes so I can watch the action while on my computer.  The bright yellow finches feathers have turned dark olive green is gone.  How I wish I liked winter but I hate it.  Hopefully my husband can go for a drive before it gets dark at 4:30.  I told him next year since I've retired I was going to leave in January.  I have two single friends one who is moving to Houston, TX next summer and the other lives in LA.

Sometimes I wish I was still working but I couldn't get up in front of a 100 middle school kids every day and teach, without falling apart. In the winter some days seem to last forever.

Good luck with the tournament Teresa. I know it will be hard but when you see it come together it will be worth it . What a wonderful way to honor him through something he loved so.

I was thankful to spend the day with friends yesterday.  I managed not to cry until almost the end of the visit and then cried all the way home.  The day was hard. It was Kyra's favorite holiday and she always called me for my stuffing recipe. A call I didn't get this year. My friend made a toast to her as we sat down to eat.

Connie it wasn't on the list because that song was for you. 

I have to focus on getting things done for this tournament.  It's not as easy as I thought it was going to be.  The hardest part is the emotional side of it. 

Anne, I can relate to your husband.

No - the song wasn't on the list!

I'm sorry it was such a hard day for everyone. I ended up having to take my best friend to the ER. She had major surgery 2 weeks ago and now it looks like they damaged her ureter when removing a stent they had put in during surgery. Just found out that she has to go in for another surgery tomorrow to try to fix it. She's had NO bladder control since surgery (a total hysterectomy and fibroidectomy). I get so upset when the doctors screw up what should have been a simple thing. Now she's hysterical. I hope she's going to be okay. :(

Oh Connie I am so happy for you! Those dreams are very special. I've not had one, but I'm always happy when someone does!

Well one big holiday down, and 2 to go. I haven't felt bad all day. My husband on the other hand had a rough day. We watched Lassie Come Home this morning, and I looked over at him, and tears were rolling down his cheeks. I asked him what was up. He said he was feeling sad about the boys, and the dog. Then we watched Independence day, and I looked over, and he had tears. I had to ask what was wrong. It's just not like him to be so, so, tender about something in a movie. He said that ever since Ben died certain things that happen during movies gets to his heart. I was glad he was letting stuff out. Men tend to push those kinds of feelings down, but I'm thankful for the times when he does share them with me without me having to pull to hard.

Thanksgiving is over, and tomorrow is a new day. Good or bad I will just do the best I can.

Yesterday I went to go from my mother's to my sister's house, which was only 10minutes away.  A route I have taken a zillion times. Straight down one street, make a left, continue straight and there.  Well, I don't know why it kept going wrong but I just couldn't get there. I kept making unnecessary turns and at one point even ended up at a dead end.  I just couldn't get my thoughts straight.  It took me 35 minutes to arrive.

Connie I'm so happy for you. I'd give anything to see Michael again even if it's a dream. I want to know the ending. Was the song on the list?

I am taking today a little at a time. Seems to be working. Ill admit I am a little lonely. My husband is out checking the fence lines, and I am home, turkey in the oven, and just sitting. The world does go on, but we are not alone. I have a feeling that our loved ones will not be forgotten in the hearts of those who loved them, especially during the holidays. Peace!
