Sometimes smiling is the greatest act of defiance, 
& sometimes asking for help is the most meaningful example of self-reliance.
Sometimes the best medicine is to just laugh until you…

Another Christmas Behind Me...

Posted on December 31, 2012 at 12:03am 0 Comments



I made it through another holiday season.  I didn’t shed a single public tear.  People don’t want to hear about loss or watch you grieve when everything is so festive.  The grieving are dark spirits in a season of laughter and light. 

Christmas has been extraordinarily hard for me for many years.  I buried my father…

Losing Something

I have a lovely pair of 28 carat gold earrings that my father-in-law brought back to me from Saudi Arabia early in my marriage.  The earrings are simple and beautiful…and for many years, I wore them exclusively.

Cyna, I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Birthday, I wish you much peace on your special day.

I've gotten behind in reading my favorite blogs so have taken time this morning to catch up. Your words are beautiful and so honest and they so very often speak to me directly. Just wanted to say 'thank you' and please keep sharing.

And I'm thrilled to think we could meet in Myrtle Beach. I do hope you'll be able to attend. Remember, the Extreme Early Bird Registration ends August 31 if you'd like to save some $$.

Hope you have a peaceful birthday with some memories, some reminders of where you are today, and some hope for next year's celebration. And I hope you get to eat something special, something you really really like... you deserve a treat or two!

Hoping your special day is filled with wonderful memories that bring a smile to your heart. Happy Birthday, Cyna.

I hope you don't mind that I posted the wonderful Pooh video on the home page. Those words are just so special and can apply to all of us here.

Welcome to the Village ... please know that this is a safe and warm environment and I hope you will love it here as much as I do.  You may like to join a group (e.g. the decade you were born in, or if you were suddenly widowed, etc so that you can chat with other widows in a similar situation ...)  Please don't hesitate to join in with any of the discussions, or even start one of your own.  And, just say if you'd like some help with navigating the site x
