Survived another day.

May 2013

We were at a friends "Spring Celebration" party. I remember it well, for it was the first party we went to after I quite drinking. My friend knew that, and he acquired my favorite beverage for the gathering, Henry Weinhard Root Beer. At that time, I was still investigating in non-alcoholic beverages that would work for me. 

Looking at her, seeing her smile, just makes me miss her all that much more. Even in her later day, in the ending of her part in our lives together, she still had that ability to smile at me and make my heart either melt or sing with great joy. 

Thursday

Done with my morning stay at home stuff, and now what? I know that I must get to the VA and finish my paper work. One more reminder of me being alone. 

If nothing else, it gives me a reason to get out of the house. Dress and off I go. After I get the paper work done, I get back to my car only to find a couple of guys admiring her. So, I do what I love to do, open Tweety up so they can admire her. These guys were a couple of gear heads, and were uhh and ahhing all over her. High praise from them. 

While I was out, did some grocery shopping, and that was about the end of the day for me. Home, put stuff away, and got ready for my time in front of the TV. 

Woke up in front of the TV, know that it is time for me to make that walk down the hall and into bed. I survived another day. It may not have been a red letter day, but I got through it. One day, I will shrug off this winter cold, and let the light of the life come in. 

Driver is here and it is time for us to get my ass in the car. This may not be the best or easiest part of the trip, it is a part I must pass through. For we are on the Road to New Life, and there are times when it is a struggle to Keep My Shiny Side Up. Don't worry, with Driver by my side, it will happen. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
