That's enough." - Elizabeth Lesser

I can’t stop thinking about this past weekend and what a wonderful time it was to be with so many of Nancy’s friends and family. There is a great connection to your happiness and well being with those souls you surround yourself. Align your heart with people that lift you up as you lift them. I’m sending this positive loving advice to each of you. Be happy! It’s a very short trip around the sun isn’t it and the times we make those trips are numbered. Enjoy the ride.
"One moment when the dust to-day
Against my face was turned to spray,
I dreamed the winter dream again
I dreamed when I was young at play,
Yet strangely not more sad than then--
Nothing new--
though I am further upon my way
The same dream again."
-Robert Frost "Nothing new"
From Yang:
"Today was a beautiful rough day Dear Nancy.
It's hard for me to accept the new reality of you not physically being here.
I hope you were able to see all of your nearest and dearest together today
celebrating you. You single handily touched all of our lives and made a
huge impact on us. Thank you. Thank you for making space for me. Thank
you for taking me in and making me feel like your third daughter. Thank
you for sharing your wisdom and influencing me to be who I have become.
Thank you for teaching me how to watch baseball. Thank you for creating my
best friend. I love you so much. It's hard to say goodbye, but you'll always be in
my heart. I'm forever grateful to have the memories of you. I'm lucky I get to keep
those memories and be able to look back on the greatest moments. For the rest of
my life I'll be moving with your soul by my side. Rest in Paradise my Pisces Queen."
In between reading about the adventures of Tom Sawyer I made a pot of chicken soup. So goes this Thursday.
There’s
a new book out “James” by Percival Everett. It’s a retelling of the
classic “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from the perspective of
the runaway slave Jim. This past weekend my daughter said she is
reading James for her book club. I was very excited to hear that as
that book had been recommended to me by one of my own bookclub members.
After lunch today I went to the library and checked out copies of both
Tom Sawyer and The adventures of Huckelberry Finn. Going to brush up on these classics so I can be ready for “James”.
