Hi angel friends :) iced tea cheers! to you all :) my family and i hope everyoneis doing well, and having a nice tuesday :) We were up early this morning, with the new day, rising and shining :) even though it's a bit rainy today, we got plenty of sunny things to look forward too :) Especially the blossoming of spring time nature, gardening, and all of these speical joys, that will continue to bring healing each day :) i had some good talks with my mom today, and also shared with her, all of your wonderfully heart-felt, comforting, and encouraging comments on my journal i wrote yesterday :) it helped me a lot to write, and to explain how i'm feeling :) i know it's healthy for me to have those writing times, even though i've had some extreme sadness lately, i've found some comforting joys, in routines, and keeping with my daily schedule, and also with traditions :) each day, can truly be a blessing, no matter if it's a good, bad, sad, or happy day, it's always a day to share, with the people who are closed to our hearts and spirits, family and friends :)
This morning, my mom, Lisa, Alyssa, and i enjoyed our weekly trip over to mcdonalds :) we love sweet treats tuesday :) we usually go before 8am in the morning. :) it was nice, getting some treats :) i got my breakfast burrito today, and my unsweetened iced tea :) it's really good :) i love having an iced tea, and my writing area all set up, and decorated :) i've been enjoying my tea light candles, and writing very special thank you cards for friends, which we'll be mailing across the miles tomorrow :) i also have put together, a treasures package :) our first time ever, that we'll be mailing a treasures package to a dear friend in Brazil (our dear friend Carol, Zaac1986) :) it's gonna be nice, to mail the cards, and treasures :) i've been decorating up, my writing area, and have added in some of my awesome recent cards, and gifts i've recieved :) i love personalizing my writing area :) i've blossomed into some nice writings, beginning last saturday, and i'm thinking of some wonderful recent times, i've been blessed to be able to share, with family and friends, who are very dear, and close to my heart :) family, friends, i've been keeping close too, and feeling comforted, and uplifted :) Tomorrow's gonna be a nice post office adventure :) i'm looking forward to it :) i'm writing a new letter for my lovely ds mum (Bloss) too :) i want to take another week to write some more in the letter :) Mum (our friend Julie) and i love to catch up, through letters :)
Today, i'm feeling stronger :) it helped me a lot yesterday, to put into writings, some feelings, and emotions i've had inside my heart, and spirit. i read all of your wonderfully warm, and comforting comments, and want to thank you all so much :) i've always used my journals here on ds, to write, share, express, and to enjoy the spirit of writing, through all times, all through the past 8 years. it's so helpful for me :) i've been recieiving a wonderful outpouring of support, guidance, and encouragement :) it helps me a lot, when i'm feeling down, or when i feel numb, or off-balance, you all are reminding me, and reassuring me, that this path i'm taking, adapting to new days, and new lifestyle really, with my days, it's really comforting to know, i'm not alone, and that i can write, even on days when i'm feeling sad, and down. it means the world to me to know friends are there, like guardian angels always looking over, and protecting :) it's an amazing comforting feeling :)
i'm finding joys, in simple things, like nature, gardening :) i'm embracing the sounds of the birds singing in the morning, and telling myself, "it's ok to be excited about it" :) see, for the longest time, in recent years, when Holly and i were together, i would often go outside with her on the phone with me, for nature walks, and the birds singing, was always a special time, and i even use too record with my cell phone, the sounds of the birds singing to send her, through text. not having that anymore, it's made me emotional when i've heard the birds, but i'm trying to embrace it more now, and allowing myself to enjoy it, whether the birds are singing out front, or in our backyard, i must continue to remind myself, "it's alright, those birds are singing happily, and i can still enjoy it too" :) this is letting part of me, to be able to enjoy things still, and i know it will eventually lead me to being able to enjoy more. i was on such a path with Holly, in the relationship she and i shared, it was like, what she enjoyed, i enjoyed, and what i enjoyed, she enjoyed, it was so close, and i want to be able to allow myself these days, as i heal, to enjoy simple things, like nature, birds singing, and knowing, that i can share it fully with my family and friends :) This is gonna continue to help me heal :)
Our Daffodils, blossoming in my favorite gardening area, is such a sweet joy :)i was thinking about soon, re-introducing to my journals, "Sunflower/Gardening news", and sharing about all the nature, and gardening my family and i are doing, with pictures, video tours of our gardens :) i want all of this, and really need it all too :) nature, gardening has always been healing to me, ever since i got back into it, in 2002 :) i loved seeing our daffodils yesterday, and i know these nature sights, will continue to awaken my nature spirit :) it's gonna happen, and will flourish, and heal me even more :) i want those days, and experiences, where i can't wait to share about what i see, hear, and enjoy in the gardens, here in my journals :) it's gonna be so nice :) it's raining a bit here today, but i've been taking in some nature, with putting goodies around our yard this morning, and i also have been organizing our garden supplies :) packets of seeds, gardening sets i recieved in december :) these will be a special part of our gardening throughout the season :) i look forward to a whole new gardening journey, and there will be some SUPER COOL Mr. Cool Sunflowers growing in the garden too :)
We're enjoying the day :) my family and i are doing well :) it was nice, going out to get some treats this morning :) i organized my dvds collection this afternoon, and enjoyed some quality time here on ds, writing to friends :) i addressed the treasures package, and envelopes, and am all set and ready for our post office adventure tomorrow :) Today for lunch, i enjoyed some soup, and a baked sweet potato :) it was delicious :) i'm going to have a movie night tonight :) i like selecting a movie to watch, and also have recieved all 5 of the new movies i ordered on amazon with some of my amazon gift cards i recieved for my birthday :) Thank you angel friends, for sticking with me, and for being here for me :) we appreciate you all :) big group comforting friendship hug :) i'm keeping strong, focused on positives,healing, and there's many more good days to look forward too :)

I\'m so glad you got into your GARDEN MODE!!! I think that this time of year that\'s the BEST THING FOR ALL OF US GARDENERS!!! I like to focus on the things I will see with the short time I have left on my farm...
Little by little I\'m getting stuff together for my move... I\'m only packing one box a day right now as I need to pick up more supplies in town when I go tomorrow... I also went though bins in the barn that I\'ve been putting off and NOW I have two empty bins for the clothes I have in the house...
Love to you and everyone in CT today!!! Have a lovely evening!!!

hi Chris::: I had such a great time reading your journal. And always enjoy seeing the pictures of your work and computer area. I see so many great cards and gifts everyone sent you for Easter and your birthday, you\'re so loved by all. There was a really nice card for Ireland and thought.. I\'d love to be there this minute ... how great would that be?
After reading your journal I pulled out a book from my college days when I took a course about the environment.. many decades ago. Its Birds of NJ and love the illustrations and found different Owls in our area. So you helped a lot... hubby is making an Owl House but there are so many sizes and think we have the right size now. Thank you for posting about your adventurers and walks!
I hope you\'re having a fun day... maybe some sun will pop out soon?
hugs to you and your family xo
Hi Chris,
I was so happy to read your heart-felt journal. Each sentence
was filled with courage and healing thoughts. Writing, gardening and the routines you have established with yourself and your family are all part of your journey through life. I know everything you shared is a blessing for all of us who read your journals. They bring encouragement and support to each of us and in turn we send encouragement and support back your way.
I am grateful you are in my life via daily strength.
Angela
