In the grocery store ....and passing by all the items i used to before hubs passed and left for . The memories brought liquid to my eyes which proceeded to roll down my cheeks. Thinking about only what i wanted to cook/eat seemed rather selfish. Said to myself, " self, this is now your reality".
Driving home in the rain, the song....The Tracks of My Tears came on the radio. That was an era when we could hear the lyrics and they actually made sense.
" My smile is my makeup, i wear since my break-up with you ./'./'./'./ ".
I know and am quite familiar with that kind of smile.
The drive and the music produced more tears.....but...walking in to the house, the rain.....blended in with the Track of My Tears~~

......my Obituary. Some of you may think this odd...but 2 yrs ago at the passing of my husband, the woman asked all kinds of questions about him. I didnt know at the time, she was collecting info for his obit. Upon reading it in the program and in the paper, while most of the details were there, his essence was lost in her words. I decided then, i would write my own, as only i know the info, and the info i want shared. I also didnt want my having to do one other thing upon my leaving, as she will already inherit two properties with 3 living spaces to clean out. Having lost all of my family members, within a short period of time, i have paperwork from parents, brother and 3 aunts I am going through and dispersing. Just recently a few names i am responsible for came up on the abandoned property list, so i must submit paperwork for . Its all a process.....and im unsure how much progress is happening. Yet...each day, i try to accomplish something. Thats the best that i can do. Thats the best that we ALL can do.
So...yes, todays accomplishment is a done deal ~~

March Madness

Well ....not in the traditional sense. I have a personal March Madness. On this day 5 years ago, i lost my only sibling, my big brother. Three yrs prior to that we both lost our mom....also in March. Thirty years before that, dad died....yup you guessed it..... in March. Then just a year ago, my last surviving paternal aunt and a maternal cousin passed within 2 days of each other and were buried on the same day....in March. Thank goodness it was a sunny day and i was able to travel /drive the distance to both services.
I enter this month will loads and loads of great memories, sadness that there is noone left to share those memories and lots of trepidation, with knowledge of what has happened in March of the previous years.
Then..in the midst of it all...this morning a man that i have been communicating with for a couple of months and enjoying our getting to know each other times, texted that he had to stop our conversations due to his " strong connections with a woman in his area ". A woman who had not been aforementioned in his emails or texts. I believe that people enter into our sphere for a reason or for a season. I dont know what his reasons are and i dont have time nor energy to spend on it further.
It just confirms what La La said to me in a previous blog.....to take everything someone says with a HUGE grain of salt. I also said to myself, " you must lower your expectations "
I like to think that these are all a part of life's lessons, and i must learn from them.
Yes....even at this age, i am still open to learning. I told myself, " , if this is the most significant loss that i experience in March, I will count my Blessings ! "
Praying that March moves along smoothly, for us ALL ~~
........Bring on those April showers....

Just Venting

I'm one that takes my time getting to know a person before venturing out to meet. My personal safety is impt.....to me. I believe that a person can't pretend sanity forever and sooner or later the craziness will rear it's ugly head. I've dodged a few bullets using this method of vetting. So we IM, we text we phone, we share pics , we email for weeks before a meeting is set.
A man whom I've been talking with off and on for years recently wanted to meet. We had never met before, due to either he being involved or my being involved or email addresses being lost etc. There were a lot of false starts. So this go round, I relaxed my process a bit and agreed to meet. After all we had spoken volumes prior. He tells me, " even if it doesn't progress in an a..f..f..way, I still need friends, a person to bounce thoughts off etc ".
So we meet ,had a nice lunch, wasn't extended very long, but a leisurely time. My thoughts, a nice man that I wouldn't mind getting to know more. Said our goodbyes and that's that. Two days go by....not a word. So I email him, thanking him for the lunch, saying it was a nice time. He responds with, no thanks necessary , it was my pleasure.
This was about two months ago now. Lol. No words since.
Now I can certainly understand no connection , no further interest but I can't understand not being able to somehow communicate that. But I guess non verbal communication is just as powerful.
He's still around, still viewing my profile. For the most part, it's out of my head, but just today I noticed from my profile that I was a " fan " of his. Well I quickly rectified that, but it lead me to this vent.
Naive me, still believing what people say, " good friends, need friends" blah blah blah.
I must keep reminding myself, actions speak louder than words.
Rant Over....Lesson Learned ...I hope !
