Everything just seemed to come together. A little voice in my head (I like to think it’s God talking to me—because when I don’t listen to it, I find I should have, and when I do, I am glad I did!) whispered to me to look in the large wood box out on the deck.Continue reading “Today Was a Great Day, Finally!”

It’s hard for me to express my feelings to people anyway, let alone those who don’t understand but think they do. When I get frustrated or, start to panic when I am now forced to do something I am uncomfortable with, that Ted use to do, and try to explain it, they just down playContinue reading “I Wish They Really Understood”

Here I sit, looking out the window at hail pelting on the deck railing, then snow. We almost took my friend back to the ER yesterday again, but her headache got a little better. Today, not so good. Need to make that trip, through the mile steep road down to our other car. Postponed itContinue reading “One Step Forward, Two Steps Back”

This is what I woke up to this morning after being excited when I finally saw dirt patches among the icy sections of our road yesterday, thinking Spring is almost here! Maybe it was a sign to tell me to stay home this weekend and nurse my dear friend back to health. She is sufferingContinue reading “The Beauty or The Beast?”

Today started out with by best friend, who flew out to be with me as I finally traveled home, having to be taken to the ER with a terrible headache since yesterday afternoon. She was awake all the night. After seven hours in the ER and being hooked up to an IV as she wasContinue reading “And the beat goes on…”

I got an email from an animal shelter that I had looked into for a dog last year that didn’t work out, and they told me about these Pomchi dogs they just got in recently. The one on the left in my lap was the littlest one at 8lbs and she is overweight. She isContinue reading “Do I or Don’t I? Should I, or Shouldn’t I?”

I am finally home, after six long months and then some. But it wasn’t easy getting up my ice covered road, on an incline to my home at 3400’. Then slowly down the driveway. I wouldn’t be here without the generosity of my dear friends. One flew in 3,000+ plus miles to be here withContinue reading “The One Constant in Life is Change—Add to That, Challenges”

Since I have been bouncing around from State to State living with relatives until I can get to my home in the mountains, I am finding out what it would be like to move into each of their homes or nearby. I think anytime a person moves into a family’s home, the dynamics change fromContinue reading “Should the Widowed Move?”

The Suburban, having sat for six months, is giving me payback now. The driver’s door won’t open remotely now without using the key, the buttons on the inside of the door won’t work and the back hatch door won’t unlock. Yesterday I had to crawl over the seat to try and unlock it from theContinue reading “My Inadequacies Are Showing”

Heather got me thinking after reading her Tuesday Tuneup blog today. Who am I? I truly don’t know anymore. I defined myself as half of a whole, when I was married to Ted. I was his better half, I would say jokingly. Although he let me do whatever I wanted, I would always let himContinue reading “Who Am I”
