Yesterday was tough. Much pain. The estrangement with my daughter was the icing on the cake. However…I am excited about today.

Early, I will go float at the pool to ponder and reflect. For lunch I’m going to the pool cookout with mom and a male neighbor who has been a real pillar of strength for me during this time. For an early dinner, the family is going for Japanese (salmon hibachi yum!). Mom and I will peruse more flowers, have chilled watermelon and berries again, and watch Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular to finish off the day.

I signed up for a Griefshare class for me and mom. I feel hopeful and am looking forward to it. Thanks @BeyondtheRainbow.

I hope everyone has a peaceful fourth.
