I can't tell you what a great time we had at our friend's Warren and Elycia's wedding in Laguna Beach. We all stayed at Seven4One boutique hotel that is open for events only. It's a very quaint and cozy place that was picture perfect even if we did have a few gray clouds hanging in the background. Everyone gathered Friday evening for tacos and cocktails after the rehearsal and the excitement in the air was just exhilarating.  Saturday morning was full of excitement as the guys walked along the beach and hung out together and the ladies had their hair and make up done. By the time the event happened, my hair was back to it's same old stubborn self, straight. But that is ok. The ceremony itself was simple and elegant, and the perfect short but sweet. Robert was the best man and Warren's daughter Samantha was maid of honor. The reception itself was one of the funnest times I have ever had and this was a much, VERY much needed event for me. I can't tell you how good it felt to laugh as much as I did. I met some new people and bonded with some that will, no doubt, become some good friends. One couple from Colorado, Bob and Susan were like long lost friends that I have never met. An instant bond like I have met them before from another life time. Susan is very spiritual and Buddhist in her beliefs and I look forward to having some great conversations with her. She really soothed my spirit. After the reception we went, well, everyone but me, went to the lobby to continue the celebration. I went to bed. Hey! What can I say? My bed time is 9:00 on a good day, if you're lucky, I can even stay up to 9:30. Sunday, we all met for brunch and then headed home. I was tired by the time I got home but this was perfect timing for us all. I wish Warren and Elycia a lifetime of happiness. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Belkin 💕💕💕💕💕

It's Thursday, now what?

Many years ago, when I was very active in the blogging along with everyone else, we would always do the HNT, well, I can rest assure you that's not going to happen. And now in the world of Instagram and Facebook, we have TBT. That I have no problem with. Yes, these will all be related to my brother Bill and some of my favorite past photos. I can rest assure you that all of the posts are not going to be depressing. I loved my brother Bill with all of my being and people that knew us together can understand that. Today is going to be a rough day, as it's my second week that I haven't been able to talk to my grief counselor. Even though I've only had maybe 4 sessions with her, she really truly has made an impact on my emotions and that what I am going through is perfectly normal. After all, grieving has no time limit. I've seen other posts saying, if you could spend one day or one afternoon with a person, dead or alive, who would it be with? My response is always to be...

My current mood!

My current mood....feeling like ACK! I don't even know if that's a word or not.  My head feels like it's swimming somewhere else today and I just don't feel like me. I am beginning to wonder if I'll ever feel like me. However, I do know I will eventually, I have to be patient. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that is there for me. I know he is struggling too because he feels helpless and wants to be there and just doesn't know what to do for me or how to even do it, say whatever it is that needs to be said. But knowing he IS there for me helps me a lot. Expressing myself on my feelings has never been easy. I would rather write it out, hence the blog, or just show emotions. However, if I have to cry, I usually end up saving that for when I'm alone. But then there are times when I just can't hold it in. Then the flood gates open and then they shut just as fast. My friends all tell me to call them if I need someone to talk to. Sometimes it's jus...
