Busy Weekend Ahead

Preparing to leave on VACATION! Yep, I'm taking a vacation from my problems - not just "outta here" but going on a real live vacation. I have not been on vacation since Tom and I went to Philadelphia in December 2003 - our last together. Once we came home, my mother-in-law really began to fail until she passed away at 94 in June 2004. In the middle of that, Tom had a second stroke in March 2004 and of course had another in November, which culiminated in his passing on the 14th.

Lots of "stuff." So, with a change of attitude and perspective, I am on vacation next Friday for 10 days. Lucky me. Thank you to all my blog friends for your good wishes and comments on my upcoming trip.

Today, I am having a massage at 10 am and then running errands - got to get some shorts and a swim suit out and pack. Have client work to finish before Friday and a nice breakfast with my friend Bonnie tomorrow. We also are going to visit our old neighbor, M - who is in a nearby nursing home. All in all - a very nice weekend and a busy week ahead.

This morning - in my email inbox - my word for the day from the Gratefulness website

Live in the present. Do the things that need to be done. Do all the good you can each day. The future will unfold.


Messages are sent to us everyday in a myriad of ways - paying attention is important - how many affirmations do we just plain miss because we are distracted by worry or mundane details? Enjoy your weekend.
