Hello to all. i have been BUSY preparing my home to be sold. Had to replace my gas meter!!! which meant I had to tear out the hedges around it. Having a tree trimmed in the front yard, pool repairs, designed and ordered my husband's grave stone, and arranging to have extra furniture removed. I discovered that ALL the charities WILL NOT come and pick up the furniture and expect me to deliver it to them. (That is not happening.) My rheumatologist sent me 15 pages of paperwork to complete before my appointment. I called to schedule my cataract/glaucoma surgery sooner as I will be moving out of state soon. Busy, Busy, Busy In a way I am thankful that I have so much to do to occupy my mind and to help me not be overwhelmed with sadness through Thanksgiving, my 62nd. anniversary and Christmas. Wishing good thoughts to everyone and hoping that your holidays are peaceful. ❤️

🦃 Any plans for Thanksgiving?

Me: Nope, NOT "feeling" it this year. Maybe NEXT year. Will "probably" find some movies to binge on.

My daughter "usually" spends holidays with her friends and/or extended family. More "social" than I am at the moment.

Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 . I was busy trying to stay dry for a couple of days. I don't know where that continuous wet weather came from, but I didn't like it. I was glad to see the sun and get out to play some tennis today.🎾

Yes Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 this month does mark the end of hurricane season. The crazy rains and winds this week were like a tropical storm! I looked at the weather summary for those days and there was no mention of a tropical storm just flood and gale warnings.

I hear ya, Nicole. But if people, especially older folks don't feel like eating they should check in with the doc. Might be a digestive thing. Plus not eating brings on its own problems. I've read where snacking is fine and often recommended. If it tastes good people will at least eat and get calories.

For me, all the Thanksgiving food on TV and in stores is too much to look at. It reminds me of the sick who weren't able to eat a thing.

I am decorating an outdoor xmas tree in our back yard with Red clip on Cardinals (12) and white velvet bows in memory of my hubby ..We do have a small indoor Xmas tree with gold pointsetias and white lights ..I try to make the best of a somber situation because I know this is what he would want me to do...I am a sentimentalist and try to remember better times for all of us. Thanksgiving will be spent with both my daughter here at home and my granddaughter and her partner will stop by if only to say hello and dishes will be set out for those who want to take part in the celebratiion of thanksgiving...I have purchased presents for all ..some funny some useful ones as I like to give gifts...Even though he is not here in body he is here with us in spirit...Wishing you all a peaceful holiday....

I always hear helpful ideas on this site. I heard some time ago to look beyond the window, and not through it. Also, a dear friend always talked about and planned her future. She said we always have a future somewhere. This is good to remember because the pain of loss seems more intense at holidays. Except that the end of something is the beginning of something new. What is new brings hope!

These are all great MC @mc6844 ! A couple of darkness ones run through my mind. "There is always darkness before the dawn, and this is to make you stronger." and even better, "There is always darkness before dawn. The light is on its way."

I also heard an old song at a class this morning - "I Will Survive." It has energy, strength, and a strong sense of conviction (even though the circumstance in the song is a bit different ).
