Another God given day
The sky is as clear and blue as yesterday. Thus making it very cold here in Ohio. I haven't been out to see my horses since my mom's stroke but using the cold as today's excuse. There are so many things to do but I am actually both psychically and emotionally exhausted. I have lost over 15 lbs since late October. I am thinking of swapping the laundry and possibly lying down for a bit? I am not good at resting. The house needs vacuumed, Christmas cards need addressed, mom's condo is still filled with belongings, her bills need looked at, phone calls to make, work tomorrow and will need to prepare for court subpoena on Tuesday....but after I am done testifying I have the rest of the week off. The plan is to rent a big uhaul truck and get the last few things out of mom's condo. I continue to feel overwhelmed but know hat once her condo is done I will feel a bit better.
The best thing about yesterday was being able to set balloons free in the sky with a friend. She lost a baby 7 years ago and he would have been 7 yesterday, same birthday as me. I had mentioned on Facebook that I wanted to get balloons to let go in memory of her son and also the baby my mom lost in 1960... My sister Charlotte would have been 51 this year. Anyways, I ran into my friend by total coincidence, or more likely because God had it in His plans. I had my youngest son with me and she had her daughter and hubby. We went to the park and let 10 balloons fly off...7 blue for her son, 2 pink, one for ger daughter and one for Charlotte, and an extra blue for my son Jameson. The balloons looked like stars as the sun glistened on them as they rised into the heavens. It was all good.
