Enough Already (Rain, Rain, continues)

Had to get up early this morning. Manny had to be somewhere before 7:00 am.

The package we need is still floating out there somewhere.

Shortly after he left the rain started up again...UGH! 

But just before the rain started, 

I was reading a blog post from someone else's FaceBook page

about the death of a thirty year old man who died from ALS. 

It was titled, " The house of mourning: a post for those who grieve, in memory of Daniel Berg."

 It was about the writer's brother-in-law and it was graphic, but honest.

I understood what the writer was talking about, 

and as I look over at my mom's empty apartment

I feel hollow inside. 

I suppose I need to snap out of this funk I'm in. 

There is much to do today, so...

In honor of Daniel Berg, and his family here is that blog post:

I started today's post early this morning, and as the day has gone on
I wanted to post an update here, in hopes of ending on a happier note...

The part for our work van arrived at 10:15 this morning.
I dropped it and my husband off at the mechanic's (just up the road)
and headed to the grocery store so I could restock our pantry and fridge with food.
Low and behold - the sun came out! 

I put away the groceries and made a healthy lunch

(btw, day three with Slim Fast is going pretty well)

So, things always have a way of turning out, getting better, and the sun will eventually shine again

(even though at this moment it's fixing to rain again!)
