Monday Thoughts

Hello Dear Blog Peeps:

It has been a whirlwind time.

Saying goodbye to a loved one has got to be one of life's most difficult things to do.

However, after 45 years of marriage and six years of courtship with him before that, I know, without a doubt, that my "forever love" will still be with me. 

It is just in a different way-----tucked safe inside the human heart and mind.

The love, kindness, and generosity of people who have reached out since my husband's death on July 9th,  have been most gratifying.

There are flowers all over the house, food offerings fill the freezer and refrigerator, and mail keeps coming in, in stacks. 

There will be much time making out thank-you notes in the weeks to come.

My heart is full.

Shown in this post is one of the floral bouquets that I put on a table near my bed. 

It's great to wake up and see something beautiful right away.

HOW HAVE YOU HANDLED GRIEF IN YOUR OWN LIFE?  CAN YOU SHARE?
