I weighed in, my weight is up by 3 pounds. So, what is three pounds, actually?? Well, it is what you make it. If I was to put three pounds of butter in my hand, ew............ If I was to look at what three pounds of lard looks like, again, ew!
Why did I gain all this weight? Well, there is one basic reason, I ate too much and exercised none. Why? Well, right now I'm torn. Half the time I'm feeling sorry for myself, my son, his children, my other children, my husband - pretty much everyone who was affected by Stephen's life. There is such a void, if you will, since his death. Memorial day was horrible. Seeing that wreath with the handpainted word - "DAD" (in Stephen's favorite colors, too) - broke my heart all over again. No little child should have to be in the position to have to do that. If only............ Designated Driver's work, they do save lives!!! Today, I will be going back out to the cemetery, I will tidy up the flowers and other objects left there, and make sure it is ready for them to mow around. I'll bring home some of the excess, and take it back out when the flowers need refreshing. The anniversary date of his death is coming up, it's just around the corner. I can't believe it's been nearly a year. I still think he's going to call me, show up for dinner, text me............ The nightmares are back also.
And then, there's my new endeavor. I have signed on as an independent consultant for Close To My Heart scrapbooking and paper art supplies. It is so fun! I love it. So much cool stuff to play with, excuses for me to craft and play. Who doesn't like that? I'm having such a great time with it. Check my other blog for more information: Dawn's CTMH Blog
Well, that's about it for now, I'm getting ready to leave for vacation really soon. We are going to Kentucky & West Virginia to ride the Hatfield-McCoy Trails!!
So, with every good there is a bad, but with every bad - you can find something to light your way.
