    Wednesday, May 14, 2008

    Well Here it is, a month since my last journal entry. Time does fly. I am having a hard time this week and I finally got a revelation why today. I was busy at work and feeling sad. I didn't know why just a very heavy heart. Nothing at work was out of the ordinary just my spirit was really low. I took a break and went to the rest room. There I could have some privacy because tears were welling...

  • HAPPY HALLOWEEN (I'm ready to begin again)

    Friday, October 31, 2008 | A Rambling story

    The first year I put one foot in front of the other, kept busy, and got through life one day at a time. After the shock and the grief and the haze cleared all thoughts and plans for the future were put on hold. I immersed myself in the business affairs that come with the loss of a loved one and allowed myself no time to think.
    It was around the one year anniversary of Phil’s death that I ha...

  • Had me a pity party... w/o balloons or cake

    Thursday, November 6, 2008 | A Rambling story

    For all those who think I'm so brave, strong, capable, and/or courageous, etc.  Saying here & now, and once again - "T'aint so."  Oh, I can be - and I have been - and I hope to be so again, but it doesn't come easy or natural to me.  Being courageous is something I am learn'n - and I'm a slow learner...

    Phil will be coming in Friday night at 11:30... I am beginning to feel like a school girl with her first crush. (All giddy inside) I'm too daggone old for those feelings but they do feel good!!
    Our relationship has grown in several different stages...We were only attracted by the photos on the web, to liking each others voice on the phone, to having so many little things in common.
    And now lo...

  • Who shall love me?

    Thursday, July 2, 2009 | A Rambling story

        I am calling this rambling, yet I strive for it to be encouraging.  I am processing a new knowledge that recently came to me, with the help of a DS friend.  He knows who he is and how much I appreciate his wisdom.
    We were talkiing about back when my life fell apart with the loss of someone dear.  We were talking about loving yourself.  It opened a f...

  • I wish...

    Sunday, August 2, 2009

    That you were here, in your recliner, and that we were watching a movie.  I wish that you were standing in the kitchen with your arms around me, my head on your chest and that we were dancing to the music I'm playing now.  I wish that you would pop your head in here and say "ARE YOU GOING TO BE ON THAT COMPUTER ALL NIGHT!?"  I wish that you would walk over, put your a...
