The Day

Those of you close to me know what that means. When I count the days it comes up to 351 days today. So by the actual Calendar date, May 18th, it will be 353 days. All I know is that it seems like today should be the actual day since it is a Friday and it was on a Friday last year, May 18th, that my world stopped revolving around him. Sometimes I think it stopped revolving at all but I know that isn't true. As the blog title says, Life Goes On, whether we are ready to go on or not. Funny how life is. Doors open, Doors close, more doors open. People come into you life and go out and a lot of times you have no control over it.

I have enjoyed so many happy times with my Children, Grandchildren, and precious friends during the past year. I just returned home from a wonderful trip to Louisiana on Wednesday after celebrating Delaney's 8th birthday and Mother's day with Angie and Keri and their families. They never cease to let me know how loved I am and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you all for loving me :-)

Today I have a Red Hat Luncheon at the Country Club here in Athens. We will eat dessert first (my favorite)(especially since I have been on Nutrisystem for a month now) and we will dress in Red and Purple and wear big floppy hats and purple boas. Then I will come home and work in my yard and garden.

They have scheduled an open house on Sunday here. I will be gone so the cats will have to behave. Say a prayer that a buyer for my house comes to the open house. I am driving to the beach for the weekend after picking up my "almost sister" at the airport. I thought that I should be in a happy place for the weekend and celebrate the renewal of my spirit (I have actually survived a whole year) by being in a place that Rick loved so much. SO, I chose the beach where we walked hand in hand so many times. I'm sure he will be walking there with me too, I just won't see him. He will probably pass however on the outlet mall shopping trips...ha ha The weather is going to be beautiful and we will have a wonderful trip. She is going back home on Wednesday so I don't know how many days we will stay at the beach (but it is never long enough!)

Tah tah for now
