Becky and Darrell were home the first several days I was there. Their two boys were also home for that weekend. I was surprised to find out that on Sunday we were going to the 49'rs football game! At first I wasn't very excited because sometimes crowds can overwhelm me a bit, but I decided I would go and I'm SO GLAD I did - we had so much fun! (even tho it was the 49'rs.......) I had a relaxing time on my trip; I got to sit in the sun most days. Watched Jenae play volleyball AND soccer. It was good to be away.

I was alot of help!!! |
Many of you ask how I am doing. I am doing okay - I've got to get out of bed in the morning, ya know? I actually have days that I go to bed and say, This was a good day! I have also realized that for me this has been a choice. Often I feel like just curling up in bed, but I don't. I try to stay busy - which hasn't been too hard! I've got work to catch up on; tons of paperwork to deal with (ugh) and two grandbabies to have fun with. I have lots of house projects to do - that kind of stuff didn't get any attention the past few years. But those projects are also the kinds of things that overwhelm me; I guess I will pick away at it as I feel up to it
It's still just one day at a time for me. I never know when the grief will sneak up on me and hit me a good one. Like when I was at my sister's and I went to my room at night, picked up my phone to call Les to talk about our days.............. I am still choosing JOY - joy that I have good days, joy that I have good friends to hang out with, joy for family that is close by. Joy for the good memories. This was in my Jesus Calling: "the Joy of the Lord is my strength. I, the God of hope, fill you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in Me, so that you may bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." AMEN
