Just thinking and..

I still think about ICU, but I also think of the good days. I read a good quote from a book some great friends gave me; "From time to time I will step into my rooms of joyous memories and close the doors" , trying to do just that...From time to time I also envelope myself in her closet clothes. Ouch. The smell of a loved one has more power than it seems all other senses combined.
Attended a grief support class..maybe a little too soon, maybe not. They say usually best to wait at least a few months. My heart had a deafening beat as I simply introduced myself and said why I was there. Tell me, did time stop for a few seconds in the evening a few days ago? I really think it did. Many need to talk, be around others in the grief world, it is a healthy thing. I will evaluate over next few days if I should return, though no regrets at all in going this time. Got some valuable info to process. My nightly prayers ask for comfort and strength and even if my emotional suitcase is full, I will try to listen to the hurt in others. So here's that newness of life moment..a bird built a nest just inches outside our window, rarely happens. A gentle high pitched out of tune chirping quartet is now heard daily..until, Momma says it's time to go..
Thank you God for this little gift.


Celebrate life's gifts...
