Merry Christmas and Yuletide Greetings

      I had a different post ready to go, but decided I needed to feel more upbeat and not lean into what could be too much heaviness. The winter solstice is behind us, New Year's Day 2025 is just around the corner. Today is Christmas Day. While it can be filled with sadness for those I've lost, parents, siblings, and my dear husband, I have people in my life to care for and who care about me. I can even laugh a bit this year. 

    The other night I turned on the TV to a Nate Bargatze Nashville Christmas. I've never heard of him before, but the special was very entertaining, not crude humour as is so often the case, just funny. I particularly enjoyed this bit. Merry Christmas!

    Hi Sam,

    I read heartfelt Christmas and the holidays—it’s so refreshing to see someone dive deeper into the emotional and reflective side of this season. You’re right, it’s not just about the festivities, but about the connections and the memories we create.

    One thing that’s helped me during this busy time is taking a moment each evening to reflect on a small “win” of the day. It’s amazing how grounding it can be, especially when paired with your idea of finding joy in unexpected places.

    Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful perspective. I hope your Christmas is filled with warmth, laughter, and peace.

    Cheers,

    I saw Nate on Today Show and was impressed with his humor. Merry Christmas, SAM.

So Very Tired

      Apologies to Michb as I think I deleted her comment from my last post. I've never read anything but kindness from you, so please know the lost comment was not intended. I'm just really tired- who knows if others were deleted too. Any supportive comments are appreciated, though likely won't be discussing my in-laws in my blog much in the future. It's not fair for me to write about them or have any expectations.      We think the raccoon issue is resolved, but not before yet another call. It's not cheap to have critter incursions resolved. I was lamenting to my son that maybe I shouldn't try and keep the house. He's a help of course, but this isn't his long term plan, or quite frankly intermediary plan. His response was that yes, it is a lot of house and property to take care. He knows my husband handled the bulk of house maintenance and outside care. My son's been a city living apartment dweller since his junior year of college. He'll be a c...

Testing the Waters

        I've missed blogging. I blogged for nearly nine years in a previous iteration. It was a daily ritual during the long hiatus from regular life that the Covid pandemic created. Even as the world, my world, opened up again, the clicking away on my phone or computer keyboard, reading comments if something I said had any resonance, and reading and commenting on other blogs in return became my morning norm. Life sure is unpredictable. A year ago, just after Christmas, I had read of the tragic loss of my blogger friend's husband who passed away on Christmas morning, then read one of her readers lost her husband the same week. Never would I imagine just a few weeks later would I be joining that unasked for club, faced with my own widow story. But there it is. I've had to try and figure out life in this unplanned and foreign place. I'm not a young widow, having raised and launched three children, but at now 58, feel too young to be thought of in the same space as my 8...

Struggling in Year Two as a Widow

           If you are not in the mood for a post like this, I will take no offense. Skip on over and hopefully another day I'll be a bit better spirited. This is for me really after another challenging weekend trying to cope. I'm really struggling in this second year of being a widow. Maybe it's the season; this should have been our first summer to really enjoy the extra time together. He was to have retired Labor Day weekend last September, and we'd be spending nights going to music by the park events, weekends and my days off either on an adventure or at the cabin, happily tooling around in the boat that he waited decades to buy. I can't stop thinking about the wasted opportunities when we had them and took time for granted. The planning for my own retirement almost sickens me to see the unused financial sacrifices he made to secure our future.        I focus on my kid's happiness but they each seem just as stuck, but in different ways...
