Widows & Widowers Support Group

Good morning dear friends.

I'm staring at the blank screen with no idea what to say today. The problem is lack of sleep. Not for the usual reason we experience. It's because I'm doing things that are new to me...

This is VBS week. In a weak moment I volunteered at church to help. lol

So... I get off work at 5:00 pm and report to the church at 5:15 pm. Make it home about 8:30 pm and crash.

The kids are age 3 - Fifth grade, and FULL of SMILES. I'm thinking this may be why I was called to do this. There is something about surrounding myself with uninhibited SMILES.

I need a purpose. I'm always looking for a reason that I'm still here. I don't know if this is IT. But it does give me the opportunity to be around people instead of hiding in my recliner.

When I'm out in the world, I SMILE...
Not sure it's heartfelt
It may just be a habit
I'm sure sometimes I fake it

But, my hope is that I'm doing to work to bring me to a place in the future.
A place and time when I will feel peace and comfort with my life.
A time when I can feel true JOY for life again.
A time when I can SMILE.

Have a sunshiny day and SMILE because you can,
Hugs,
Vicki
