I realized today how much I miss writing on my blog. I took the month of November off to clear my mind and work on making some new memories. Hubby and I said goodbye to the past and started to make changes to deal with new challenges and move on with life.
Laney helped me kick cancer and death out of our house. They are no longer welcome. I took the advice of a social worker and decided to bring love, life and happiness back to our house. We purged out things that were reminding us of the past, rearranged the furniture and decorated the house to entertain. We started bringing life and laughter back by reclaiming Thanksgiving at our house. Surrounded by family we reminisced about our favorite things and laughed as we stuffed ourselves with good food.
Had fun with some of my friends recently that reminded me that I still have the strength and courage to make my own choices for a happy life. I made myself heard as I asked some family members to take care of themselves, so I could claim back my own life. That was a healthy choice for my own well being. I think I left a few people speechless as I unleashed ten years of unspoken feelings. I feel a little lighter these days and much more relaxed.
Laney has rested on the couch the last couple of days as I decorated for
Christmas. The tree is adorned with new decorations and the calendar
is filled with social outings. I am looking forward to entertaining as
the house smells like fresh cut pine and cinnamon.
Hubby is still leaving me love notes and I thank god everyday for love, life and happiness. And of course, My Four Legged Friend Laney is always by my side.
Life is beautiful !!
Elizabeth
