Such Is Life: FALL has arrived !

Have you stepped outside yet today? If you haven't...you should!It feels simply amazing.

As I have said before this is my

favorite time of year...always has been.

A week ago today, Rene and I would have celebrated out 43rd anniversary.

I started a posting 3 times that day but my heart just was not in the right place.

My sweet children and grandchildren knew how hard that day would be for me, so

they made it extra special by sending me flowers and visiting with me that

evening. I hope they know how much I appreciate them and how proud

their Poppa would be of them!

Just like the seasons, life changes so quickly.

Never would I have thought that our lives would be what it is today.

But as much as our hearts are broken, we know we have to

go on and be thankful for what is and what lies ahead.

That is just so hard some days.

Most days are okay.

Other days I am so sad.

Then I am angry.

Then I am really pissed off.

Then I am okay.

It's all a process...just have to work through it and figure out a way

to go on without him.

I hope you are out and enjoying this beautiful weather.

And don't forget to keep our Florida and East coast neighbors in

your prayers.

Have a blessed day!
