My Journey as ONE

Hi Sweet friends!  I am 3 months out from losing my love and life partner, my husband Bill.  He was the sweetest, kindest most loving person that I have ever known.  We met when I was in high school and his sis brought me home for supper on the school bus.  It was love at first sight and 2 yrs. later we were married.  It was a wonderful life for 54 years of knowing and 52 years of marriage to my Guy.  The lonely journey now as one is very hard and though only 3 months have passed, It seems like forever.  I am stronger every day though and find the smallest problems the most disheartening.  Like putting a new screen in the back storm door, edging the lawn, getting a ground water pump primed to water the lawn, etc, etc.  


I am helped by daily affirmations from the Funeral Home that handled cremation arrangements.  They e-mail thoughts and exercises for me to do in my journal each day until I stop it for a full year.  I find this comforting and look forward to the e-mail every day.  I am getting out more and working spasmodically subbing at the doc's office and doing alterations in my home for neighbors.  I cry less and smile more at memories when we were two instead of one.  

Taking baby steps forward...

Enjoying working in the yard and the view from my den window like this bunny munching on the fallen seeds from the bird feeder.

Trips to beautiful Huntington Beach State Park, Murrells Inlet SC.  This park is only 10 minutes away from my home and I am truly blessed to be so near to it!  For more photos taken last Saturday eve go to Kerrie's Korner SC

 The Canadian Geese babies are quite large now and are in what I call the Gawky Teen stage-ha!


I keep my journal going, one of many and writing my feelings and wonderful memories keeps me busy.  So I feel I am making progress.


Finally watched the DVD of "The Help" and loved it as much as the book.  I recommend it highly.  Thanks for coming, you are always welcome here.  For a Christian Message please go to Kerrie's Home Journal.

Two Geese families with mothers and babes hanging out in the little lake behind my house.  So much fun to watch.

Trip To Huntington Beach, SC

WE ARE FORTUNATE INDEED TO LIVE JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM HUNTINGTON BEACH STATE PARK ON THE OCEAN IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
I took hubby for a much needed outing for a couple of hours today.  The weather was beautiful and the beach was full of vacationers, but we found a quiet place under an ancient Cedar tree with branches split by storms and were touching the ground.  We people-watched and took photos of the wonderfully colored umbrellas on the beach and were joined by a beautiful Male Cardinal at the picnic table in our little hide-a-way.  We met another family from the Catskills in our home state of NY.  Hubby is tired and napping now but we had a great outing...

 we loved the colors
of all the umbrellas so
vivid against the sand
and water.

The waves were gentle
on a calm sea.

The dunes were beautiful
with grasses growing in
the sand.

 This is the board
walk to the beach
surrounded by
Myrtle Trees.

The cardinal joined us at the table in our cedar hide-a-way...






All in all, a lovely outing!  I sure hope you are enjoying this Memorial Day with your loved ones, God Bless.  Come again soon and please take time to visit my other blogs listed in the sidebar.
