Who AM I?



I have really been doing some soul searching since my Dad passed away. I seem to take one step forward and two back...but I guess these things happen now. So rather than get down about things I am going to have a relaxing weekend with my husband. This polyvore reminds me that sometimes it takes awhile to get to another place. Have a great weekend and I will be back checking out your blogs on Monday.

  5. I hear you. I understand. I know. But, my knowing doesn't help you to know. That you'll have to do on your own time in your own way.

    Just know that we understand and are here in anyway you want us to be.

    Oh, and btw, I'm liking the new colors! Very nice. Summery. They remind me of boats on the water.

  6. Cinner Lovely post and I know how you feel. I have lost alot of dear people in my life. My Grandma who was without a doubt my best friend. To this day I catch my breath when I think of her wishing like mad that she was still here walking beside me! I hold my memories of her very close to my heart. Time is and will always be your friend Cinner. Trust me on that :)

  7. Holly, thanks I know your there, today I heard a whole bunch of the trees around the farm were taken down. The tree with the swings, the ones we climbed as little kids, the one my newphew ran over with the lawnmower, the one Dad tended so carefully to keep growing, the one my Grandma planted...the ones we all watched grow over the years...It has only been six weeks, I am feeling like just leave everything for right now. I don't know why some of the family are in such a rush and forgetting about what Dad wanted and liked...sad thing Holly I know this has nothing to do with the trees! I tell myself, your 45 this is part of life. Why do I feel like I am about 10 right now...Maybe I should be putting something in my morning coffee...I am kidding girlfriend! Thanks Holly, you have been a godsend for me! Yes I like the colors too, played with it a bit last night when I should have been sleeping. Have a good weekend!

    Crista, I am sorry about you losing your Grandma, I am doing the same thing with my Dad, wishing he were here...I am counting on time being my friend.
    At least making it easier...Some moments I feel totally okay, then others well I probably would have a part on One Flew Over the Cucoos Nest. Theres a picture for yah...Take Care and I hope your leg is okay for you to get outside this weekend. Cinner

  8. Cinner:
    When we loose a parent, no matter how old we are, our spirit cries and we become frightened. We become orphaned. That's why you feel like you're ten. And, you're right, it's not about the trees; it's about watching some of your past slip away and you begin to feel rootless and a bit transparent. But, I promise, it will change and you will begin to sense the rightness of who you are POST loss as opposed to who you were PRE loss. And pre/post, she is pretty dern wonderful!

  11. I think you are right that this is part of the process-the whole two steps forward, one step back. I know it's frustrating. And I know it was prompted by a sad event as well. Sending vibes of comfort and clarity on the journey.
