Thanks everyone. My wife appreciates all the cares and comments. Maybe I'll be able to convince her to come hang here with us rather than on Facebook with her mom.
I hear you. Went through my own anniversaries of those lost last month and it knocked me out for two weeks straight before I could get my head around writing again.
Don't let guilt be one of the emotions. We feel what we feel. We remember, usually not when we'd like to, and often times, at the worst possible time.
I filled my time with memories- as many good ones as I could pack into my quiet time. I focused on watching the birds at the feeder outside my office window. Did the bare minimum at work. Tried to enjoy time with friends.
Eventually, it passed.
I've found that sometimes talking to them helps, even though they can't hear. Do the things that give you joy and peace, and most of all, forgive yourself for whatever wasn't done, wasn't said, or conversely, was. Let lavender winds ease your pain and remember, we're all here if you need us.
I had a long beautiful entry written earlier today but somehow it didn't get saved. I am working on Emancipation pretty hard but I am bored with chapter thirteen and have skipped ahead to work on some later scenes.
I have 69 reviews done already for the month and I think I will pass my goal of one hundred in a couple of days. Theoretically that means I could do almost 300 reviews this month if I really worked at it. If I were to random review them all I could probably have close to 500k GPS saved by the end of the month which would be cool. If I could keep that up I could pay to renew my membership with GPS almost exclusively from reviews. I have a lot of raffle tickets that have been bought for me, if I won that would be more GPS that could add to it. I worry about this because I probably won't have the cash to renew my premium membership in February.
