I'm sure Lynda (Mom, to me!) has valued your support and insight given your common loss.

Life is funny like that and most times we just have to enjoy it as it happens and roll with the punches.

Your description of the run and your focus on forward motion remind me that life is short and everything changes. What is there to see ahead in the beams of the headlights? I am nothing if not curious.

I read your mother in law's blog, and am familiar with the loss of your husband. May I offer my deepest sympathy. Lynda and I share the commonality of losing a son. <br />I love your mention of Annie Lamott, love her! They're right. The only way to get thru is one step at a time. I was just commenting on Lynda's site earlier, that I was told after the loss of my son, to "just breathe, breathe in, breathe out".<br /> Again, great post!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154302076068393438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774628403513421556.post-74428745418621323862012-03-09T19:19:40.306-05:002012-03-09T19:19:40.306-05:00Excellent post.

One time when I was overwhelmed at work, my desk was piled high, a co-worker gave me a good piece of advice. <br />He asked me if I knew how to eat an elephant. Of course I said that I didn't. <br />His response: "one bite at a time."lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.com
