Hello .....
I have been told by many of my Facebook friends, that I should start a blog with my thoughts. So here I go. I will start with a few of my previous thoughts and move from there.
"When Steve died I started a journal, I wrote every day for a while but slowly it dwindled. I look back at those early pages and cannot believe how far I have traveled. At that time I didn't think I'd ever be happy again, that my heart would never stop hurting, that I would laugh or smile and mean it. An uphill battle every day.....some days not wanting to get out of bed, not wanting to go to work, not wanting to talk but blindly doing all of these things with a smile on my face. So here I am 5 years later, having recently read these pages and feeling, oh so thankful that I am where I am today. I cried reading those pages, I was so sad, so small, now I am not sad, not small....do not mistake that I miss Steve each and every day and will always and forever love him...it simply means we do heal, life does go on and we are the keepers of memories, the guardians of special people. I am thankful today for all the wonderful, happy memories I have."
"I am having a hard time getting the Christmas spirit this year......I've noticed this but continue going through the motions. This a very, very sad season for many? Perhaps we need to re-evaluate our priorities this Christmas...less about gifts and more about friends and family togetherness. There has been one tragedy after the other, so many families and friends left to celebrate minus someone. Gifts purchased and never given, songs to sing without one voice, parties to attend minus one special person, meals to eat with one empty chair. My heart hurts this year, it is a dull Christmas because of these losses others have endured. The most unimaginable grief being suffered. So to turn this around do not give up on Christmas....Christmas will come and Christmas will go, its what you make it; count your blessings, bring joy to those you love, make memories, tell everyone you love they are loved by you, sing loud, give selflessly, love unconditionally......peace on Earth, goodwill toward men. Having said all of this I will move forward, sing, give, love, remember, feel the sadness but bring joy and most of all be Thankful every minute, every second of this day. "Come on people now smile on your brother, everybody get together and love one another right now...." ♥
Have to start somewhere and I thought this made sense.
Enjoy this day.
