Your sunset pictures zeds beautiful, and I liked the one of the reeds. Hope the fresh air and love of fur babies helped ease your heart...

Loved the sunset pictures!

Alone time is something that is a gift we give ourselves because it soothes the soul. Offering a virtual hand in comfort and love, my friend......

I understand completely. There are days when I just need my puppy love.

What a pretty place you are at! Holidays are the worst, but you will get through them. Time for yourself and your thoughts is so important. The saying is that God won't give you more than you can handle, but there are days we wonder! Hang in there!

Really nice pictures Dawn. Alone time is some times necessary for all of us. Don't ever forget to take care of yourself.

can understand rough days...the positive being in Q is I'm around friends but friends that they are they are winter friends
and so hadn't had a chance to offer condolences and that has been hard to take...been a bit down as well
love the area that you went for quite time so pretty
I have a lone time perhaps too much...oh well that I need to get used to
take care Dawn I've been told it will get better

Sheila, that is what everyone tells me too. How hard for you to go through all the condolences again now that you are back in Q. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Wish I could be there to give you a hug.

Keep feeding your spirit with long dog walks and beautiful sunsets.... the ache will still be there but there will also be room for memories, quiet grace and joy... Keep moving forward....to find what is around the next corner.

Dawn - I'm sure you also haven't had a whole lot of alone time that you could get before going fulltime. You almost always have Mom around (except when she's mad at you and living with Paul) and there aren't a whole lot of places inside you can really go to be alone. SO I imagine that just getting out by yourself probably helps your sanity.

Amen! :lol: :lol: Since you have met Mom, you know she can be really high maintenance. :lol: She is hardly ever quiet too. I am not used to that. Chuck and I were fairly quiet people and am not used to constant sounds coming from her in one way or another. When she gets quiet, I know she is asleep. But then she starts to snore. :lol: :lol:
