The Moon was ablaze with messages and blessings. I remembered that it's been a full year since we lost Karma. Today I went in the pool for the first time this year, but no lifeguard stood watch .
We all noted that this is the first Memorial Day without Pop, who was a WW2 vet who served in the Navy in the Pacific aboard the destroyer escort USS Braine. We all still struggle with the loss but I've realized how strongly his influence will remain with all of us. More than just memories persist. Poppy is there in the decisions that we make, in the way we face the world and how we all make the best of each situation with an abundance of caution.
My two best friends have both been waiting a long time for important things - a place of her own for one, and a job for the other. They both got what they needed! And my son Colin has finished an important creative project.
It has NOT been business as usual in my life these past few days.

Such as life to embrace the sad...the good news...the bittersweet. May your days be full.
You have a big full life I think. May it always bring you joy no matter what comes your way dear Dee. How swell to have a pool, an accomplished son, a business you enjoy, a life mate, and gardens!
