Glad to be indoors, for the night!


Good Evening, or whatever is the applicable greeting to you, in your part of the world.

Well, the 3 of us enjoyed a genuine visit AND lunch. The food is delectably delicious; we will return there again and again; and the prices are wonderfully reasonable. 'J' is doing her best to 'hang in there'. Her husband ('Never Better') passed away in early Jan/08. 'J' has been working around the clock at her job, as well as taking on the care of 'Molly', a 'pup' her husband had brought in to their home, shortly before his death. The puppy and 'Mum' have now bonded; which is a nice plus.

Tidbit - Be of good cheer and extend an extra hand of 'friendship' to those in need. ie 'J'. It was so great to see her again; and this is the start of many fun times.

Bittid - So many people when faced with grief,(such as a loss of a spouse), tend to 'isolate' and 'lock themselves away' from life. I have empathy and appreciate 'doing that' for awhile; but NOT for every day and night, for the rest of one's life. 'J' eluded to that fact today; she is not going to hide behind walls and 'dodge out' on the future; whatever it may hold. And yet, it is also crucial to take 'time out', and / or take a day or two here and there; and to simply be a bittid of a hermit, appreciating one's own company!

Last night, we watched a movie, 'The Lonely Guys' (methinks that is the title?)with Steve Martin and Charles Brolin; very depressing plot; but that type of tidbit 'stuff' goes on in real life! Fortunately, the show had a 'happy ending!' 'J' will not turn into one of 'those', who resign themselves to a sad and lonely / empty life.

Glad to be home; black skies; but indoors now for the night.

Here is wishing you a nice evening.

Good Night and God Bless.
