"Another fresh new year is here . . . another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, to love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me to live each day with zest . . . to daily grow and try to be my highest and my best! I have the opportunity once more to right some wrongs, to pray for peace, to plant a tree, and sing more joyful songs.”.

Today I'm grateful for:
1. My warm bed.
2. My talent to paint, I love to do it!
3. Friends who call me!

When I am scared I cannot cry.
Two very weird things about me!

Seriously slacking in the blogging this past year, Oh well, get on with it and do better this year!


Since the seven year deathaversary a gate was opened and it feels very good to release all of that emotion that has been boiling inside of me.  For the past seven years it has been leaking out through my tears, paralyzing parts of my life, soothing my dreams and reconstructing who I am.

So, I am going to try the NaBloPoMo challenge.  Blog everyday for the entire month of January.

It may get ugly, but grief is ugly.
It may get sad, but grief is sad.
It might even get dark, but welcome to widowhood.


Luckily, I am more than a widow, so there should be some other middle-aged, genealogy-junkie, grandma-loving posts too!
