Oh my goodness, I'm sooo excited! Do you know what a great feeling it is not to have to get up at some ungodly hour and travel and hour and a half to get to the office??? Well, it's great, on the one hand.
On the other hand, it's a little bittersweet, because hub's not here to share this with me and the plans we were making will never come true. But I know it'll all be ok. He's here with me in spirit and I draw strength from what we shared together. I want to always remember the smiles he gave me and keep them with me now. I'm still taking things a bit slowly but I'm getting there.
You see, that's how it is now...I get really happy about something then I think, oh wow, he's not here with me to share this. What now? That's when I remember the funny things he'd say and it helps me get through it. I'm still sad, but better.
So getting back to Monkey Mondays....Mondays are now officially "Fundays" (to quote a good friend ;-) .....so...Happy Monkey Funday y'all.
Peace

LET THIS BE ODAT'S HAPPIEST OF ALL HAPPY MONKEY MONDAYS
Big [[[HUG]]] honey. Happy Monkey Funday to you too. :)
A very happy Monkey Funday to you Odat. I find that its not so fun if you have to go to work, but I am working on it (like commenting instead of working!)
Hurray for the first real day of retirement. I do admire the way to face the wind. I'm also delighted to see that you can feel your hubby with you. That's awesome.
find yourself a friend who doesnt min you telling them every single detail of your day every day.
thats what I did when Johan passed. I couldnt stand not having someone to tell my stuff too.... nothing seemed real till I told him.
It will always be bittersweet but focusing on the happy memories keeps him close, I think.
And I know he's so very proud of you -- your heart, your spirit, your strength and determination to love living.
You're a beautiful role model for all of us, Odat. Thank you.
