Gratitude

This has been a long week for me. I started it off just trying to get thru my two days of work. I know that is not a good thing but sometimes I have so much in front of me that  - that is the best that I can do. I know that I might not accomplish everything but I try and sometimes I just make the decision to wade thru the waters.....

So this week we had wonderful warm weather and sunshine - that always helps...... but my friend (my daughter's godfather) someone my husband and I have been friends with for 25 years - he lost his father....

I spent the weekend at his home, with family and friends, listening and just being present.  I fixed food today for George to take over to the house...this will be an especially hard week for him as things begin to come to a close. As there is closure to the process and then the true form of grieving begins.

He is my second friend who has lost a parent - and although I know that I am not getting any younger and neither are they I am fortunate to have them in my life ....But they are beginning to look older to me now...just a little different

So I remind myself of just how fortunate I am, blessed each day no matter how it begins or ends.....
