I don’t remember whether I posted yesterday or not but what I didn’t say was that I was having a terrible time with SI and I was ashamed of it. It was incredibly strong and I kept thinking that I couldn’t do that to my family so soon after. I did contact a crisis line.

Today is the complete opposite. I feel great! I’ve been down to float and bought begonias, had my healthy smoothie, walked in the park, visited with neighbors and done some housework. We’re going out later for errands and to eat (bourbon glazed salmon, steamed broccoli and baby carrots. Yum!).

Usually for the fourth…we attend a pool party cookout and go and listen to the Symphony at night with a huge fireworks display to finish up. It’s fantastic. I’m not sure mom is up to the Symphony this year. I’m not real sure I want to be around large crowds either. The last two events we’ve had recently have ended in mass shootings. What a shame! Gun violence is getting out of hand everywhere it seems. We will attend the cookout for sure.

I’m going to make the most of my good day. I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
