Over-Committing to Avoid

At what point have I filled my schedule up so much that I no longer have to deal with the emotional tolls of widowhood? Because apparently I am trying to do just that. My schedule is INSANE. I cannot breathe. The next 3 nights seem depressingly busy, and March has

Living in Reality

Do we put a positive spin on life in all scenarios? Is it ok to feel the reality of the situation and admit that it stinks? If we put a 'Life is Grand' keytag on a bad situation, does it make it better? Do we embrace the reality

Steps

This week is full physical, next week is a meeting with my college advisor. Both I'm a bit nervous about. Last year I had high cholesterol, and this year I'm hoping that my healthy changes have lowered that. With school, I still don't know

Everyday Passion

I know you love your wife. And I know you love your husband. I think it's GREAT that he got you a dozen roses, and took you out to a romantic dinner. I mean, how original is THAT?! I got plants. A gal with a brown thumb (as

With Love From Me

We had love. Unexpected, beautiful, surprising love that was divinely brought together. Some have cherished, building, love that builds a depth in time. Whatever the love is, it is amazing. When you have had a taste of good, or grande, or great love, you seek it again. Even when the

THE TODAY SHOW

Tomorrow, tune your DVR's to The Today Show where I will Skyping in my Widow Relationship Question LIVE between 10 and 11 with Hoda Kotb, Kathie Lee Gifford and their panel of male experts! I AM SO EXCITED!

3rd Wedding Anniversary

Welcome to Wedding Anniversary #3. Now I have officially shared two whole anniversaries without the man I married-a certainly depressing thought, especially as I began to realize that I am quickly approaching a time where I will have been apart from my husband longer than we were even married. Reality.

Life without a Calendar

I escaped. Me and another widow packed our bags and hit OCMD this weekend for a great spur of the moment beach trip, and despite the 9 inches of snow, it was perfect. Heck, even with it, it was perfect. Sometimes you need a getaway, and especially one that'

What's Next...Refuse to Just 'Exist'

I have always looked to the future-planned ahead, dreamed crazy and far, and some of those things I have achieved. Having worked past enough grief that I can now look ahead yet again, I find that beyond a year I am at a complete loss. While a year off seems

What do you say?

We have all done it, even I. "I'm so sorry for your loss." "They're in a better place." "They won't suffer any longer." "At least you got time to say goodbye." These things we say in

Definitions

I had my third meeting with my "life coach". I'm not sure what to term him, but it's been great to discuss grief with him, to review what I'm working from, what I am working towards, and the blocks along the way.

Simple, yet so Complicated.

Haiti, Angiosarcoma, Love. Life is so interesting. It's a simple twist and turn of events, yet sometimes the insanely depressing, and the pronounced joy are so intertwined life becomes incredibly complicated. Haiti. My thoughts are especially with my cousin's in laws as she awaits word. My

Re-Do

In the New Year, life is a re-do of the things you didn't do last year, that you hope to change in the future. For me, it's a lot of that, and a lot of altogether new things as well. I hit 19 pounds down this

I Stand

I often watch movies, with a weak female role (not her acting, but her character's flaws), and get so angry. Sometimes I even yell at the screen such things as: "Why in God's name would you open that door???" "Oh my word, are

2010 #fail

Do you want to hear about my stressful weekend? I'm stressed just thinking about it, and still dealing with it. The nutshell of this weekend is that Saturday there was a cop at my door, who informed me someone sideswiped my car (remember that just 2 weeks prior

The Widowhood Slugger

Widowhood is like a bat that whams you on the side of the head-from the moment you enter this new world and then again, and again, and again. It knows just when to clobber you and knock you down. But we always get back up don't we? Tonight

What Really Changes Us?

Habits are usually things we learn from our surroundings: possibly things that our parents did, quirks that got us through in our childhood, or just doing things to fill the time. What really changes those things? When we read an article, watch a movie, hear a tidbit, and think "

Looking Ahead-2010

I have learned to never look ahead too far because if I make too forward of a plan, often I end up not achieving it and end up feeling guilty/sad about that. It is not just in goal setting, but in dreaming. I have learned a lot about lost

Merry Christmas

I may be fairly quiet over the next week with the holiday insanity! Wishing you all a healthy and very Merry Christmas. I think 2010 is going to be a great year..don't you?

SUCCESS

Just wanted to share something so exciting..many of you know I went back to school this fall. Just got my grades: 4.0 STRAIGHT A'S. I didn't think this was possible as an adult student not having taken classes in almost 4 years with all

Brace for the Storm

Yes, there are possibly 8-18" of snow coming. Am I happy? I'm THRILLED. I am one of those annoying people who love snow, crave it, ask for it, get all kiddy like a 5 year old waiting at the door with her sled and snowsuit. It used

Memories and Eternity

I'm doing a project for work that kind of springs up memories, or hope of what could have been my future with Kevin. Looking at places we would have travelled, and how we would have loved to have a place at the beach. Working on getting the Subaru
