Today I went by the office of our local hospice where I volunteer and did the Christmas mailings. They are packets sent to loved ones who have had a loss during the year and include healthy grieving tips at holiday times. An invitation to our Christmas pot luck, a hand out on how children grieve etc. I just want to emphasise one thing, you aren't going to cause a grieving person any harm if you mention their loved ones during the holidays. In fact they probably would be more than happy to have someone just listen to them as they share what used to be their customs and rituals over the holidays. I do have to share this poem they gave me to put in the packet though so here goes.

The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You do a great service by volunteering at hospice. It takes a kind, loving, and strong heart to do so.
