I have a most beautiful quilt on my bed…

  
it began as pieces of fabric which individuals wrote on at the party given for me after I left my last job… from there a small group of amazingly talented women spent time piecing together the fabric and putting a border around it and backing the whole thing…

it is a real work of art and is filled with inspirational thoughts for me to look at and remember…

  
I don’t always have it on the bed, but have been enjoying it for the last few months…

  
has brought to mind so many who I know who are struggling with their work situations… hoping that positive thoughts and check-ins will be of some support during their difficult times…

some are not happy in what they are doing, others are searching for the right job, still others are trying to decide what to do at this particular stage of their life…

  
still remember the struggle when I was out of work and how difficult the process of finding something was… I didn’t just want a job, I was looking for a calling…

had a lot of support thoughout the process and eventually moved into an excellent position which was just the right fit for me, but getting there was a process…

also contains the words of my dear beloved, who never waivered in his support…

  
truly an amazing remembrance of ten years of my life and the great people I was able to spend time with…

big girl pants, dinner and FaceTime, Grandpa's birthday, missing my beloved, planning remembrance, remembrance

when we were together on Sunday we talked about how we would remember Grandpa’s birthday… Tavin and I had spent some time looking at the video from George’s memorial service… it was lovely as he was able to watch the pictures and think about Grandpa… he wasn’t able to do that at the service…

the boys decided on hamburgers and milkshakes from his favourite burger place and apple pie with ice cream… ice cream was included because some of us don’t really like apple pie, lol…

hopefully we will FaceTime or Skype with the kids in Ottawa… last year one of them was in Calgary and the other in Courtenay… it will be nice that they are together…

not feeling well for the last few days has made me feel a bit sorry for myself, missing my beloved who always looked after me…
