Good Morning --dark--- no snow falling here --yet! Lopez and I have not been out either-- I have heard from Son#2 the Pilot--He has returned--back from Sao Paulo-- probably "de-plane-ing"- (is that a word?)---then has a drive home, from Toronto--He said that was a 10 hr flight--long eh?----
These days before Christmas are busy ---- decorating-- snow falling which might have to be cleared away--more clothes to pack on the body--So, what I am saying, you might find the blogs a tad shorter--but, I shall try to continue on--- I know this time of year we are all busy--This A.M., I have a breakfast to get to with a friend of Son#1---AND--IT IS STILL DARK OUTSIDE__
Yesterday was the Bereavement Course at our local hospital-- 11am--to 3pm-- long eh?--I think we have 3 more classes--I do find that I am able to accept , for the rest of my life, that I do not have Fred--beside me--in person--and I am finding that it is easier to be alone--go shut the door and actually --"be alone"--(Yes, I could dance! LOL)
OK--Words I wish I wrote_ -#1.--There is always something to learn___
#2. Look inside yourself for the strength to continue-
#3.-It takes 2 flints to make a fire--
I hope to-day goes well for you-- Once one decides to "have a great day"--no matter what, ---one usually does have a good day--"mind over matter"--as Dad used to say--and--- maybe we should count our age by friends, not years----
Good Morning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteIt's Thanksgiving today in the states so we are getting all the Thanksgiving dinner preparations going. It will just be me and hubby today. His sons and youngest son's wife will be coming on Saturday for dinner because they have other family obligations today.
So glad to hear the bereavement classes have been a help for you.
Yes, it's going to get busy for most of us with upcoming holidays, decorating and all that goes with Christmas.
Meteorologists are predicting snow here in the next few days so we will see. It is pretty cold here now. In the low 30's.
Stay warm and snuggle up with Sushi and Lopez.
Jackie
Happy Thanksgiving to you --We had a few inches of snow today also--and it was very cold--Lynda
DeleteI hope that you had a great Thanksgiving Day--Lynda
DeleteHave a great day, Lynda. I am so happy for you that you are feeling a bit better. Happy Thanksgiving from an Ohio gal, as it's Thanksgiving here. :)

I am headed over about now to my family's Thanksgiving, just 5 of us. I have to take the green bean casserole out and top it with some more french fried onions for 5 minutes, then I'll make a mad dash out of here! :)
DeleteMarti
Hi Marti--=That green been casserole sounds delicious also--Lynda
DeleteI love the Idea that you have a grief group I just recommended this same thing to a friend that lost her husband she is looking into it I never would have had this Idea if not for you
ReplyDeleteQuote for the day
Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

That Grief thing is very long--led by 4 Ladies--but--IT really has helped me a lot--It is held at our hospital--Great quote--true--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Today is Thanksgiving in my world, but Tom and I have chosen to do our day by ourselves. I saw the Pain Management doctor yesterday. Yes, I am healing, but it will still take some time to be without pain completely (if that ever happens). So I will roast a chicken, makes some mashed potatoes (Tom's favorite), open a jar of gravy, make green beans and just enjoy this day! Have a good day too!
ReplyDeleteKathy--Did you just enjoy the day"-sounds like a great way to spend a day-- Hugs, Lynda-----Oh I hope so you had a great day! Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Snow flurries in Ohio and 33 feels like 14. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast with a friend. I am cooking but waiting on things to cook right now. Just wanted to say hello and wish you a great day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOHH--so nice of you to write-- I hope your day went well-Lynda

ReplyDeleteGood morning, sis!
ReplyDeleteI am very happy your bereavement class is helping you!
It's cold here, too. Just 21F, but the snow has stopped. Plows cleared it. It looks like my car is clean, too. That's good for my drive to my daughter's for Thanksgiving dinner.
A meal with a friend of your son...that person is your friend, too. Love the idea of counting your age by friends. Counting the old ones from work, the Facebook ones, the local ones, the animals...I AM ANCIENT!
I am sending you a couple photos to your email address.
Off to get ready. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
K--I shall check my email--I hope you enjoyed today-- how was dinner?-- Hugs--and Happy Turkey day--Gobble Gobble--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: I am glad your grief sessions are helping you.
ReplyDeleteme too--Who would think eh??-- I do not cry as much-- LOL--Lynda-
DeleteNot a fan of the darkness, either . . . nor the cold, but . . . can tolerate the cold more than snow!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you that the bereavement class is helping. It is not easy to deal with
LOVE all your sage advice!
HUGs and blessings

DeleteHi Lynda: I'm glad you feel that your grief sessions are helping you cope more. It's starting to feel more like winter here now. We're getting some snow today and some streamers from Lake Huron may hit us today. Hope you enjoyed breakfast with your new friend. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteLOL-- My new friend is my sons friend but a very nice man---- Happy Turkkey Day--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda
ReplyDeleteBreakfast out with sons friend sounds good.
Thanksgiving day in the states. Ate way too much at sons house. It all tastes better when I don't have to fix it.
Im happy bereavement class is helping some. Glad you are attending.
Snow in forecast Friday night into Saturday. I hope they are wrong. I hate snow and cold.
Pilot will be coming to your house soon. That will be fun as he likes to go out to eat.
Enjoy today.
hugs, Marge
