Hugs and best wishes going out to you, cyn! The Mrs. and I found a house in Kansas City (south) to rent. Now to get approved for the rental by them - that's what we're waiting on. We're cleaning, packing, washing the car, mowing, trimming, you name it in preparation to move. I'll text the young man who manages the apartment we moved in to back when we arrived in Dodge City on July 31, 2015, and see if he wants to make some extra money helping me pack up the truck with our stuff. Lots to do - we expect the move out day will be Wednesday next week.

Cyn.......I want to encourage you to look to the future as an oppurtunity......dont romanticize the past.....it wasnt perfect....nothing ever is.....you are a talented and wonderfully sensitive woman.....you often sell yourself short and I believe others have as well.

Its time to take stock of yourself ...... and to negotiate with yourself....a new beginning......small steps.....but set goals and meet them. Who knows what the future holds. (It doesnt hold the past....each day is a beginning.....start there.)

Great news elkotronics! Sounds like you are going to be very busy for now!
Thank you Dude and the same to you!
Very muggy and foggy here today. It feels like a rain forest!
I did have a pretty good nights sleep. Today is work and then when I get home I have some spot cleaning to do on my carpets! Dogs are more work then cats that is for sure! Especially Bassets! Just their drooling makes for marks so it keeps me pretty busy! But they are happier now being inside!
Time to take the dogs for their morning walk and then get ready for work! Have a blessed day everyone!

A friend of mine posted on fb a poem about the process of letting go.



When your legs gave out
I learned to crank you into
a wheelchair so you

could see the house. We
built a ramp to the back yard.
After the first trip

you surprised us when
you said, I don't think I need
to do that again.

You even asked me
to take away the TV
I'd set up for you.

What I couldn't see
was you'd already said your
good byes to life to

the rooms and closets
full of clippings and papers
clothes that didn't fit

with a calm so strange
waiting for your ride to come
without a suitcase

as if you could feel
the train out of our earshot
and knew it went home.

You pulled at your clothes
like they were in the way and
after you had seen

the neighbor's kids you
said pull the drapes I've never
seen a day this bright.

Dear Cyn,

Grief is like a four letter word to me, and yet we all have to face it and it is hard. I remember when it was my two year anniversary, I was still crying everyday and my heart ached. It took me three years to say goodbye to my grief. One day I awoke and it was gone, like a 1 ton weight lifted from my body. I feel as though I am a changed woman, I am more cautious to ever wanting a relationship and having to go through that grief, that at times was so overwhelming and crippling. Sending you loads of hugs...

Oh, these comments are making me so sad. I am so sorry to all of you who have lost loved ones...that does include all of us, or pert-near all of us. It's very hard to lose parents to death - I know that is true - I lost a niece to cancer and she was only 4 years old. But to lose a husband or wife would be crushing - absolutely crushing. It is bringing a tear to my eye as I type this message out. I can only deal with it by envoking my belief system in the Creator. And I just felt a sense of stress relief - or should I say grief relief.
