I think it was in one of Stephen Covey's books that I read about looking at the word responsible. He broke it down into a person being "response able" and it is what the anonymous person is describing. The human ability to look at and assess situations, thoughts, and feelings and choose how we respond to them.

I am doing as well as can be expected...I'm trying to adjust into living in the "Now time" which has its ups and downs ..getting use to the me in making decisions and little changes that come along when one loses that special person..The holidays are the hardest it's like being in a crowded room and still feeling lonely even though our children are here to celebrate a void that can't be filled is there. Hopefully as time goes on I'll be able to adjust to the now...

Tennis and water aerobics this morning for me. Getting through Email this afternoon and tonight I get my music fix at chorus rehearsal.

 

I'm glad you had a safe trip to Walmart and hopefully you will have a restful nap!

This is from an article about actress Amanda

Kloots losing her husband Nick Cordero in 2020

to Covid complications. I found it helpful in

explaining my ongoing grief and wanted to

share it here.

 

โ€When your person dies, a lot of people will

say โ€œDonโ€™t worry, in a year youโ€™re going to

be so much betterโ€ And you are, in a way.

But I wish somebody would say โ€œDonโ€™t 

worry. Grief never ends, and itโ€™s okayโ€ she

said. โ€œIt will always make you cry, because

that person will always hold a special place

in your heart. Itโ€™s not going to go anywhere.

You just learn how to grow around that griefโ€

I read an article recently about grief that goes hand in hand with this quote. The grief remains constant and we are the ones who grow around it.

I know what that's like Nicole. Where I live I have to take the trash to the dumpster too.  I try to do that every couple days. Yesterday I realized I forgot the trash in the trunk of my car for a couple days. Well, it didn't smell too bad. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But it is a pain.

I've been quite busy lately so a lazy day doesn't sound too bad! I hope you got some needed rest and maybe tomorrow you will be up for taking the trash to the dumpster.

I came across poetry written by Ralph Waldo Emerson which would bring peace to those that read it ...It is titled " This Is My Wish For You"

"This is my wish for you' Comfort on difficult days; Smiles when sadness intrudes; Rainbows to follow the clouds; Laughter to kiss your lips; Sunsets to warm your heart; Hugs when spirits sag; Beauty for your eyes to see; Friendships to brighten your faith, so that you can believe; Confidence when you doubt; Courage to know yourself; Patience to accept the truth; Love to complete your life" I hope that this will bring peace to you...
