Just got home from getting my hair done, the works; TU, foils, deep keratin conditioning treatment, brow darkening, brow and lip wax, and a haircut with blowout. Thank goodness for Christmas gift certificates! LOL
I feel like a new woman! I have a little extra bounce in my step tonight. :-)

Im excited about training tomorrow, but mostly because I don't want to be alone in my head tomorrow...it's one year since Mom passed. The odd thing is I remember the snow storm two nights before except it was heavy and deep, Making getting to and from the hospital difficult and dangerous. I remember the snow on the ground the day we buried her, my siblings and I thought it snowed just for her. She loved the snow, she had such a joyful, playful soul.

Driving to work today the roads were clear but the lawns and trees were covered in glistening white snow that contrasted beautifully against the stark trees, the shimmering blacktop of the road and the gently lit sky. Everything was so peaceful, quiet and serene. It made me think of my childhood, the sledding and ice skating at the lake down the road from our house. How fun it was, how much Mom enjoyed playing with us in the snow and how she used to make us hot coco to sip by the fire while we warmed ourselves up from a long day of play. I have such wonderful memories of the winters as a child, I find myself smiling ear to ear as I'm typing. The snow somehow makes me feel more connected to her.

Mommy is dancing in heaven with Daddy and the Angels...I can see their smiles and feel their love in my heart, they are with me always, part of me.

Thanks for letting me stroll down memory lane and work out my feelings and thoughts...I feel much more at peace now.
