WHEN LOVE SPEAKS, THE VOICE OF GOD MAKES HEAVEN DROWSY WITH THE HARMONY.......(Shakespeare)
It's almost a year already since I retired, and I haven't regretted that decision. It's given me my time to grieve and work through things and get started on many projects, the house being the major one. The holidays have passed and I made it through. I'm content being in the house and know that hub is smiling down (or up) at me knowing that I'm doing things that make me happy.
Valentine's Day happens to be our wedding anniversary so it'll be a sad day (maybe). I'm just glad I got to spend the time I did with him. He made me laugh and everything I do has a memory connected to it that makes me smile because of him. There's something in grief that makes one change, of course, and I'll never be my old self again. But we live and we grow through our experiences and are given choices to sit in our shit or move on. I'm moving on my path, one baby step at a time, one day at a time, and will come through the clouds of my grief to greet the rainbows that await.
Peace

I'm glad that you posted Odat - I've missed you ! I wish grief evaporatede faster, but it doesn't, and time which goes so fast as we age, goes so slow when we have to start entirely new lives...

I love the photo you chose, Odat. It seems perfect. You make the necessary adjustments before your soar, once more.

I came by way of the walking man.
I wonder if the angel in the water sees the light emanating from her or is it one path of many? a run way to flight
Peace and love to you on this special day.
Odat, you are a lesson book in How To Live. They say that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and every time I read your words, I know it's true.
You truly honor your husband and the love you shared when you do what makes you happy. He was taken much too soon, but I have no doubt at all that more rainbows await you.
You totally rock! Sending hugs today and every day.
Thinking of you today.
Hugs.
My heart goes out to you on this day.
Odat- you just do what comes naturally, and just let us know how you are doing once in awhile. Enjoy!
Hey all...you guys are just the best....you make my heart smile!
Thank you for your support and love and hugs and comments...yada,yada,yada.....
BIG (((((((((HUGS)))))))))) TO ALL!

And somehow laughter will find you again... It is the strange miracle of living...
Wings of softness and love,
