Just a 'brief' update
I've not been feeling well for several weeks, almost 2 months now. Hopefully, I've found a solution, which does seem to be helping, even though I held reservations about the recommended therapy when I found it at the time. More about that in an upcoming, LONG blog.
My son is doing well after his surgery. More about his last visit with the doctor in that same upcoming blog. Quite a story there!
Some who have read me for a while know that this time of year, things start going bad for me. It usually starts about the middle of August & runs almost through to the end of the year. This year, it started on the 7th, with the loss of my aunt... my mom's oldest sister. She was the last of that family line, as I just confirmed when I talked to my brother last night. There were only girls in that family... 3 of them. My mom was the youngest, yet was the first to die. They died in reverse order. I believe my aunt was 98, although I forgot to ask my brother when I spoke to him. Her birthday was exactly one month before her death.
A week ago today (Wednesday, August 13th), was the 16th anniversary of my home invasion, which I wrote about in a previous blog. Each year, when August rolls around, I keep positive thoughts that this year will be different. I have been proven wrong again. As with the other stuff, there will be more about this in an upcoming LONG blog.
I hope I can keep my word. Some of it is already written. But... I have been an emotional & health wreck for the past 2 months, & with the latest disasters just over the weekend... well... it's hard for me not to bust up crying at the least little thing, like today when I finally bought the card I meant to send with a long letter to my aunt. This pic is the same as the card I selected today. I 'heard' my aunt in my Jeep this afternoon when I told my friend about when I originally wanted to buy a card, but not having time to decide which pretty card she'd like, say 'Yes, I like THAT one.' I broke down in tears, much to my friends surprise. My aunt had been a school teacher. Also, except for the bright red cheeks, I looked like the little girl in this beautiful creation. I also loved the forest, spending as much time as I possibly could there... ALONE!
The link to the site where cards like those I mentioned (& bought many different ones of) is here: http://www.leanintree.com/ I bought the cards at a local grocery store, sized 8.5" x 11" for $2.95 each... 16 of them! But they're not for mailing... they're for my gazing... my meditation focus mostly. I noticed that the site has many, many more beautiful ones to choose from, at $1.65 each, although smaller.
