Last Week and Maybe too Honest

Last week was one of the most difficult weeks I have had in a LONG time. I  miss my Grandmother so much and all the paperwork to close her estate is overwhelming. About twice a day I am getting someone telling me how sorry they are for my loss. It is a tough pill to swallow. But I must say I give thanks to God everyday for my blessings. Especially to those who are supporting me and are helping me along the way.

The best way to describe it is overwhelming, difficult, emotional, and hard.  This stuff won't take care of itself and I am the one to do it. For the past year I have done almost all the paperwork regarding my grandmother (not to discount some of my other family members effort).  As my family is so spread across the globe it has been a somewhat lonely (but in essence fulfilling- when I step back to look at it with unbiased eyes) journey, while I know they are there I still have to come home at night and face the next day- just keep moving forward and start a new chapter. I am happy that everyone has their lives and what beautiful and blessed lives (Thank you God!!) but this, for now, is mine. In the end- this is my job, so it's just a bad work week.

I want to say that everyday is getting better and that this week has a glint of hope of being more positive than the last, and that is somewhat true. I pray that next week will be better and I am sure it will  be.  I know things will start to go my way.  Thank you God for all my strength and all my blessings- those will be my beacons of light on this tough road head.

I have learned more than I can express this past year. I am grateful for this experience and happy my family entrusted me with it. I needed to vent "out loud" somewhere and hide behind the written word (too bad I can't sign anonymous- haha!).  This past year was a major part of my becoming an adult and learning the ropes.  For this and so much more I am grateful. Thank you Gram and my family for this experience- no matter how hard.

MERRY CHRISMAS!!

Around here it is a low key no pressure Christmas. After this year I am grateful for this! 

  I hope all my family and friends are having a wonderful Christmas!!! Maybe next year I will do Christmas cards! Hope, hope!!!

   MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS!

Funny and Informative at the Same Time

This is the funniest video! Also, though, a very creative way to spread the message about saving 4 million dogs  (and an equal number of cats) per year from an unfortunate end. Although some might find this offensive, I understand, but it is a great way to get a message out to a good many people-by humor. I think this will be a great reminder to do the right thing for dogs and cats. This video is hard to forget!
                               Please encourage all to spay and neuter pets!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all! 

  I am so thankful this season for a plethora of things. Too many to list here. I am especially thankful for my family. I am truly blessed. I miss those who are not near but know there are  having a wonderful thanksgiving and in spirit we are all sitting around a GIANT table.  

 Much love and happiness to all!
