Reflections From My Porch Swing 
What a lovely thought. Grief right now is a roller coaster ride.
I checked some books out of the library this morning for my soul, spiritual and gardening.

Yes, Lorraine. The roller coaster ride you are experiencing right now in your early grief is very normal. Keep hanging on!

There are times when the scenery is beautiful, Lynn……such as watching my daughters/sons-in-law/grandchildren’s loving interaction with each other at Christmas and thinking how very, very proud Bob would have been of them all now.

this is a beautiful way to look at our new life. Things have changed with the loss of my husband who was my best friend. It left a huge empty place in my heart yet there can be joy in looking at the new blessings God is putting in my life.

Those new blessings are hard to see for awhile, Nola, because our grief is so great. But, I’m finding that slowly they become more apparent. Thank you for reading and for taking the time to make a comment.
