Laughter is the gentle breeze...

She is in the sunshine of His love.

 Knowing that she has gone on to that place where I cannot go, yet. In my morning meditations was this:

Only I know when you will reach that destination... The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in My perfect timing: not a moment too soon or too late. 

It was in His timing that was when He ushered Sweetie into her heavenly home. 

Yes, I am alone, but not desperate. I have friends that are telling me to take it slow, to rest in this time of grieving. Give my heart time to find comfort in Sweetie not being her, to remember where she is, and when the time will come, find joy in her new home. For I know I too will have my face to face with my Higher Power, and will know that peace she is in now. 

 Wednesday/Thursday

Two days rolled into one posting. For you see, Wednesday rolled right into Thursday. Because of the events of those two days it comes one post. 

Wednesday started out easy enough. The wind was blowing, so there wasn't any golf, spent most of the day playing on my X-Box, just enjoying the day of nothingness. 

Everything was going alone smoothly, until that moment that put the serenity to the test. 

When I got to my meeting and was shutting off Tweety, a notice came on. "Your car is ready for a software update. Will take about an hour to complete..." Hey that is perfect timing, I can let it do its thing, and after the meeting, it will be done. 

After the meeting, I went to the car and it wouldn't let me in. OK, maybe it needs more time. So I waited, and waited, and waited. It was 2 in the morning when I called for an Uber to take me home. 

Upon arising, I got with a friend that is also a good mechanic. Told him about what happened, and the end was for me to go to the car and see if it would let me in, in the short answer, no. 

I learned so much about the corvette. like how to open doors with the manual key, how to open the front trunk, where the battery is, and how to remove the covers that hide the battery. 

Also, call insurance for roadside help, to get a tow truck, and to find out it wasn't the battery. As of this morning, I am waiting to hear from the dealer. So far, there isn't anything that I can do, so I wait, knowing that it will get fixed, and Tweety and I will be together again. 

The side story here was, I had a tee time for Thursday morning, with a lady friend, and because of Tweety breaking down, had to cancel the golf date. It seems that I'm not ready to even play golf with someone of the opposite sex. Driver seems to be taking care of those prospects. So, I'll read my new book, about grieving, (thank you), and learn to rest in His wings. 

After getting my business done at the dealership, headed to son's home. Pizza Thursday has been re-institute, and I was late. Told son of the problems with Tweety, and had him pick up the meal. This time, I added a salad at his request, which I felt was also good for me. 

Upon arrival, they were done, and I got what was left over, which was just fine with me. This is where I get my fill of adult conversation. This family bond is like no other I have had. There is love and caring here. Words are the medicine for my bruised soul, and laughter is the gentle breeze that refreshes my heart. So blessed that we have built this family together, again, it is just another sign that my Driver has been in control all this time. 

Home, then to anther meeting, and back again. In bed and asleep. Holding my Sweetie pillow, I am at peace and asleep I go. 

Driver took care of everything, life events, love re-assured, and peace. He is preparing anther day for me to live, and like always, we will be heading down the Road to Life, and that is where He and I will Keep My Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.

Glad the book found its way to you…. I was not sure I had found a correct address. I hope that the writing brings you some comfort!

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
