I just don't understand

On this day in 1976 I got married to someone who became my very best friend and the father of my adorable twins. Today would have been my 36th anniversary if he hadn't died. He suffered a brain aneurysm on Superbowl Sunday in 1993 and he died after living in a comatose/vegetative state for 6 more years. It felt like I would grieve forever. But I didn't. Like all things in life the sorrow faded and I moved on. I was fortunate to find love again and I am very happily married today to a wonderful ...Kind of sad today

For a few years I've been having lunch or dinner with my son and his family every week. He was a stay-at-home dad we had lunch mid week. After he joined the ranks of the employed, his "weekend" was Wednesday and Thursday so we would have dinner every Wednesday or Thursday. His wife missed having him at church with her and I'm sure he missed going to church as well.

Still it gave me enough incentive to say no to the donuts they were passing around the office this morning - even after I got a whiff. They did smell good, but I don't want or need any fried dough topped with sugar.
Planning to increase the activities with the hope of firin...

I am the captain of my own ship. I choose to be in control rather than letting circumstances dictate my life's course. However, I acknowledge that I may have to adjust my course direction from time to time due to unforseen circumstances.When I woke up this morning I felt old. I was in pain and I was bloated and constipated. I took Tylenol, took a shower, and weighed myself expecting the worst because I felt so lousy and fat from being bloated. I wieghed more than I weighed Saturday - abou...

A few years ago I bought a T-shirt that I just loved. It arrived in the mail and was too small. The company didn't have it in a bigger size so I kept it. I would lose weight and be able to wear it - someday. Then I gained more weight and the T-Shirt went into a sealed bag with some other too small items. I unpacked it a week and a half ago. I was unexpectedly happy to see it. I had been considering buying something one size too small to reward myself for losing weight in an attempt to circumve...
