It’s not a day I genuinely look forward to. It is the anniversary of my Mom and sisters drowning when I was only 3 months old. I found out last night it is also the anniversary of Sean and Diane’s wedding and this pleases me. It is a positive reason to enjoy the day. Sadly her very close friend lost his battle with Cancer during the night. The sadness and loss hung like pigpen’s cloud over the day, I guess my salvation was having too much work. I had no choice but to buckle down and focus. Through no fault of my own I had more work than hours In the day and all with a deadline of today, while I was hard at it there was a perfect addition to my office!
I also managed to rescue my picture that I dropped behind my desk while trying to decide where to hang it. It really rings true. I found myself feeling ill under the stress of things I thought I’d left behind. I am constantly setting boundaries right now, I am coming late to that game. I am the person who defaults to yes and I find myself the opposite as I reconfigure.
By the end of my day which was 10:15 I was shocked to feel how hot it was outside still. My car read 29 degrees. I headed to the Campbells for a quick visit as they leave in the morning for Vancouver Island. I so wish they had room to take me so I could visit my posse there but they sadly do not. I shall miss them deeply. I do have much to keep me busy though. I wish them safe travels and a quick return to the fold.

I want to say I am counting my blessings that I have been offered so many basements to sleep in. I am grateful for my thoughtful circle and also feel blessed that those friends would welcome me to their homes. Love xo
