Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

happy groundhog day...

...looks like that "predicted" storm may just head out to the ocean. i guess that is good, since i still haven't gotten rid of all this ice-stuff from the last storm. i do wish we could just have one nice big SNOW storm-just snow-no "wintery mix"-just snow.

the day after the BIG GAME...the members of my family were very happy with the outcome. i chose to not "party" last night and i am glad that i made that decision (but thanks for all the invites). it is funny how certain things get me emotional...watching the start of that silly game and i was a mess. i guess there will be a lot of things that will be my "first time without tim" things. i might as well start my list now: this was my first super bowl without tim and i made it though about 11 minutes (combined). i watched the start and the end of the first half (which was sweet by the way) and then the last 3 minutes of the game with kelsey (also sweet).

sometimes being around family and friends make life easier and sometimes being around family and friends make it harder...so i apologize if i excuse myself from some events but give me some time and i will get through this (and then you won't know how to get rid of me).

i have two days of work down and two more to go. keep praying.

kelsey is home sick today...not quite sure exactly what she has going on yet. quite a combination of symptoms. something else to pray for.

i wanted to say thanks to everyone out there who have sent me so many nice cards, many of which contain their own personal experiences and suggestions for what they did in similar situations. it is nice to know that others have had similar feelings and struggles and have survived. (there is hope for me)

i am NOT a support group kind of person. i have nothing against them at all but i just don't feel that they are for me. there are many days that i feel that this blog had been a support system for me...i have been blessed so many times by something that someone has said or done based on my blogs. THANK YOU cyberspace pals.

laundry calls. have a great day.

thanks for checking in

Good morning Tammy,

We enjoy reading your blog; you are such a creative writer! You make us chuckle, then feel the challenge of the day-to-day routine and tear up at the loss of your husband. These are typical feelings and emotions. Grieving takes a while; it is not over when the funeral ends. Take your time, trust your heart and trust the Lord. He loves you (more than anyone else), cries when you cry and laughs when you laugh. He will help you through day by day.

Thanks for sharing and we continue to pray for your daily needs and struggles.

Blessings to all of you,

Louis and Martha

I am so proud of you. You are honest, caring and truthful. In sharing reality and truth it is freeing to you and us. No one knows exactly what it is like to walk in your shoes except you. The way you put life into words is unique and I have passed this site on to others to hear how the Lord is an ever present help in time of need and a reality to someone other than me. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. Love from NC
