alone, big girl pants, dentist, Elements, growth, happy, lunch, Mona Lisa, restaurant, widow

yesterday and today I was out for lunch with wonderful women…

we were at Mona Lisa yesterday and it was a beautiful and sunny day… there was a little breeze but that kept it from being too hot…

my friend stepped away for a while and I was content to sit and enjoy the time on my own…

today I arrived at elements before my friend and happily sat and enjoyed a cup of tea while waiting for her…

this might not seem like such a big deal, but just four and a half years ago I hadn’t ever been in a restaurant on my own…

yesterday I also went back to the dentist because I thought that a filling from a few months ago still wasn’t quite right… I’d been a couple of weeks ago and they had trimmed the filling down a bit… it took a bit of proding from other people for me to go then, but I went this time on my own… apparently I’d cracked the tooth right next to the one that was just filled, lol… was the most calm I’d ever been as they went ahead and filled that one…
I made trips to the pharmacy and the Apple Store with no stress or desire to call someone to go with me…

feels like I am experiencing some growth… finally, lol…

apparently those big girl pants are getting more comfortable… well, at least some days…

can’t believe it but it was snowing out again… the elements are not cooperating, sigh…

  
hard to tell from this picture but it was coming down and swirling around thanks to the wind…

no sunshine today…

  
lovely view out the bedroom window last evening…

yesterday I saw a post on Facebook about grief… searched a bit and found it was written by Gwen Flowers… it talked about grief never going away, just learning to incorporate it into your daily life…

in this poem she writes… Grief is not a task to finish and move on, but an element of yourself – an alteration of your being.

an interesting take on it and something that I will have to think about…

birthday, Elements, heart, movie, The Captain's Table, zoo

had a wonderFULL birthday…

started early in the morning with a hot tub where I listened to sparrows and blue jays and watched geese flying over…

talked to my kids here and away, and made a few plans for my trip to Ottawa…

then out for brunch with my BS friends…

20140418-222939.jpgwe had a great time together, as always, and enjoyed our meal at Elements…

spent the rest of the day with my family… went to the zoo and visited the lions and tigers, played in the new Tundra playground and had a quick drink…

20140418-223250.jpgthen dinner at The Captain’s Table and a movie…

when I walked into the bedroom one of the glass hearts in the window was glittering, which I haven’t seen before…

20140418-223504.jpg just the way my heart felt…
