This is a book is about women, Taylor Swift, challenges, everything I can think of. I wrote from the heart. I love my Heart Trophy I got for this! Enjoy!
I felt the same way when I was approaching the one year anniversary of my Mom's death. It was like--How can time be moving farther away from when she was here? I wasn't ready to deal with it either. I was mourning the loss of my mother. It became stark whenever I had the urge to go to the phone and call her about a question I had about a recipe of hers or to share some news with her. I realized all over again she wasn't there.
Things will get better. Thoughts will be filled with the good times and laughter and adventures shared without all the tears. But I know a year was not enough.
I hope that things do get better. With me, it seems like two steps forward and then a step back sometimes, but I am not as fragile as before. I like to believe it's improving day by day with God's grace and help.
I was stressing about my washing machine, but then I tried doing what the manual said and it seemed to work. I ended up cautiously optimistic about it.
Didn't rush into anything, just hoping and praying for guidance from above.
Home Goods is a store I haven't been to in a while. I used to find cow parade cows there.
Food is comforting at times. I love smashburgers at this one place we take Rascal. It is enclosed but outdoors. They have heaters and fans so in the winter they can heat it. They have yummy onion rings, too. It takes a 1/2 hour to get there, but it's worth the drive.
Rascal is very welcome and that is another plus. This is a nice memory and something to look forward to.
I watched P & P yesterday. It helped me get through it.
I am trying my best to count my blessings. The yard guy mentioned that he does this, too when he feels bad about things. He says he can always think of someone with a worse problem than he has.
I think a lot of people can find a way to some peace by counting blessings at times, but at times it is difficult to see where the blessings are.
You are a huge blessing to me every day on this site.
