It has been a whole year since my mom died. I am feeling the after effects of visiting my mom's grave twice in one week. I am not particularly sad at the moment. I am just tired. I guess that is par for the course after dealing so much w/ grief. I am so glad that I can honor her once a year. Our service for my sisters & I was October the 16th. It was so beautiful & that is the way I will remember her.
Today is another beautiful day up here. I am close to the Canadian border. I love the fall when the leaves change & there is a crisp feeling in the air. I am still feeling upbeat & am excited for another day.
I hope you are all enjoying your days. No matter where you are, I pray that you will feel the joy I feel when I awake in the morning. And no matter where you are, the sun is still shining in your life.
Thank you Hoot! It is good to hear that you have reached this milestone in your life without a lot of sadness to weigh you down. The light of your mom's spirit shines brightly still!
