Week End, Do what You Wanna Do, Right?
This week-end was rather quiet. They tend to be that way when you have an injured back and a major Spiritual and physical life and death battle on Friday. God won a major victory! Praise His Mighty and Holy Name!
We usually go watch my Daddy sing and play on Friday nights but I just was not up to it. We did manage to finish the grass before sundown on Friday although we did it with borrowed lawn mowers.
The last three weeks have contained some rather memorable events, some of which I can't blog about here or anywhere for that matter due to the personal nature of the matter. However, suffice it to say that my Baby Bear went back to Texas, my Daddy had a birthday, the next day after which my brother in law passed from this life into the next one. The day after that my long time friend Milo,my eleven year old lab, passed away. Then there is the afore mentioned drama in the extended family that I can't share. I have visited my older recently widowed sister several times and spent much time on the phone with her as would be expected during a time such as this. My heart is breaking for her as I know exactly where she is right now in the grieving process. She has joined the league of us who unfortunately know all too well from personal experience what the unspeakable pain and loss is like. I planned a birthday party for her but she is just not up to it. This past week my grandmother's sister, Aunt Leo also left this old world behind. Her daughter was put into ICU with respitory and cardiac problems resulting from the stress of her mother's passing. All this while I have been suffering from separation anxiety due to Baby Bear's return to Texas and worrying about her. I had nightmares all week end.  So, todays heart to heart with Baby Bear precipitated an emotional meltdown of volcanic proportions. I survived it and am doing better , although I miss her more than could possibly be expressed.
I took lots of pictures Sunday of our local excursions and my future Victory Garden Plot.  I will share those tommorrow, God willing.
Please bear with me and the depressing nature of the post. I will be better tommorrow and prayerfully back to my optimistic self. I am mightily blessed!

I am sorry to hear about the passing of many good friends. Know that they are no longer suffering and are at peace now. I do hope that the situation between Baby bear and you work out. I know it was hard for me when my daughter left home for the first time, but I picked myself up and got more involved with what was happen at home and really getting into my hobbies. Those help the time pass by quieter.
Remember the saying about Busy Hearts-Happy Hearts.

Perhaps I miscommunicated. There is nothing to work out between Baby Bear and me. I had a meltdown because I was discussing heavy issues going on in my own life and I miss her so much. She is doing nothing wrong, just living her own wonderful life. :)

So many losses in such a short time, but God is there for you as all of your friends and family are.
