Make everyday the best day of your life!

WE CAN do everything !---  We might as well get up, and at-er !----Getting a tad older is not an excuse! Get on your clothes and get out there--face to-day with determination-- because--WE CAN!

More rain is falling--but--- I see that to-morrow--NO RAIN! --It looks like sunshine----

I have been reading a few  books on grieving--how to accept it--that it is a natural process, and eventually it will pass--I still do find however, when I am out somewhere, my mind tries to remind me to get back home soon, as Himself is there by himself and needs me-( We all know that he is not here  at all-)---Odd how your mind works !-- I also find  that I must accept that people quite often do not include a single person when they are heading off to a concert somewhere ----a couple is accepted---but not always a single person---so that person is left  in their home ---- alone---It seems it is just the way it is---I really believe I should start a " Merry Widows organization"--maybe   when I return to Elliot Lake-----(Justa idea!)--

Another month closer to August 1st--  when I move to Elliot --I am beginning to put a few things into bins---before the movers really do appear--which will be end  July-- 

I am most anxious to get back to Elliot---lotza work when I get there--will have to buy ANOTHER washer and dryer--have it installed----(How many washers have we all purchased in our life time?)--

        One foot in front of the other--and when we look back, we will have climbed a mountain--

            No crying --no feeling sorry for ourselves--  because , of course we CAN do this-

                                                    Make everyday the best day of your life!

  1. Good Morning!
    We finally have a little sun today and it looks like it will be rain free the whole Memorial Day weekend. But, rain is back in the forecast for Tuesday. I think we have a record for the amount of rain fall this spring.
    It won't be long before you are moving again so that's a good idea to start getting a head start on the packing. Have a great Saturday!

  2. It's Kathy. I think you are doing amazingly! I really can't imagine how challenging it must be to have to change so much all at once like this. All I can say is that when Daisy has had to be away for even a few hours, I forget that she's gone and I look for her! You have something wonderful to look forward to - moving back to the town you love. All that work will keep you busy for awhile and that's probably a good thing. Take care and have a lovely day!

  4. Hi Lynda
    You should positive this morning which is always a good thing.
    Packing stuff will make your move faster lol. Go ahead and tackle it. That will also save money as movers will only have to move furniture and big stuff. It will also keep you busy, also good.
    Very cool in St.Louis with rain forecasted for the 3 day Memorial day weekend. Too cold for pools to open.
    Have a,great day.
    Hugs.and love

  6. "I also find that I must accept that people quite often do not include a single person when they are heading off to a concert somewhere ----a couple is accepted---but not always a single person---so that person is left in their home ---- alone---It seems it is just the way it is---"

    I have been divorced for four decades. Most of my couple friends are from church, post/divorce, and they always and still do include me in ...though we are seniors now, so we don't get out and go as much. I've always held onto my girlfriends, be married or single, and a mix of both are good companions. I counseled my daughter from her early teens on to never let her girlfriends go and to spend girl-time with them regardless of whether she was single or coupled. Girlfriends occupy a space that needs to be filled, even with the best husband/boyfriend possible.

    Glad you're putting a few things in bins for the move. So much easier than all at once.

    Happy Saturday!

  7. Hi Lynda: Really glad to hear about your eyes. That is so great. I'll have to ask my opthalmologist if that is possible for me. I have to get a shot i my one eye every 2 months as I had a blockage so don't know if I could. And you can only get it once? Have a good night. Brenda

  8. The mind does do strange things when you are grieving! But that’s all part of it.

    Glad you are already starting to get ready to move back to Elliot Lake.

    You WILL be busy, but busy is good.

    Hugs and hope you have a peaceful weekend.
