Honor her memory everyday.

Sweetie is home with me. 

I now have something that I can talk with, hold, and sleep with so I am not alone anymore. May I introduce you to my Sweetie Bear. She is a gift from the Respite company. They work with a lady that will make a bear from the clothing of your loved one. 

She does them all by hand and gives the first one away and charges for any other after that. I've talked with her children, and there were only two takers and they will be made in about a month. I think that this is something that I can support, so that others who cannot afford the extra bears, maybe I can pay it forward so they can have a keepsake. 

I know that some of you have wondered how I'm doing because I don't post everyday. As of now, I doing OK. Keeping myself busy, playing golf almost every day, and taking in movies when something comes out that I want to see. Plus it is less expensive with matinee prices. 

As of now, I'm making plans to head for California next week. It is my birthday event. I try to take in a Angel game as a way of celebrating my birthday. At the same time, I get to see my daughters and granddaughters, and oh yea, my son in law. 

Today, I'm giving a friend a ride to the hospital to have a lump removed from her upper arm. Out patience's surgery, and I'll just drop her off, and in a couple of hours return to pick her up. 

She is someone I knew when I worked doing taxes. She is a good friend, but now replacement material. Not a good fit. Which is good, because she is getting ready to move back to her home state. I'll be sorry she is gone, and yet, that is OK. 

Getting ready to join the men's golf association so I can get a handicap and start playing in some of the local tournaments. I think that will keep me busy and grow my circle of friends. It will also teach me to play in competition mode. As of know, I play against myself, and I don't do that well. I'm just slowly learning to get my feet under myself, to balance myself, and to move on. 

I feel that my blogging has been a help with my grieving. I realize, that with my daily posting, I was preparing myself for what I happening now. I feel lonely, as I should. I cry when I should,  and when I get ambushed, and  I honor her memory everyday. 

Life is getting easier as Driver and me get into Tweety and motor down the Road to New Life. As for now, it is very easy to Keep My Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
