Still trying to get the hang of this. As many other working stiffs I am here on a Saturday after Halloween holiday just as well be I was up early in the morning with a gut ache from eating so much candy. The saying is Trick or Treat candy rots kids teeth it is a parents duty to eat it. Ya that and left over Christmas candy Santa couldn't fit in the stockings. I'm not much for Halloween but I do love seeing my kids and Grand kids in their costumes. So on the real side it was my older brothers funeral this Thursday, and whats really sad is, it was a sudden death so it's hard to resolve things in the past. Its funny though, how sometimes we find comfort in the most unusual situations and how things we thought we could never get over don't matter as much. And sometimes ease our hearts. Giving oneself permission to be happy is something that I came away with from his death,he was only 56. So I refuse to put off happiness anymore I will choose to be happy instead of waiting for it to find me. Don't worry I won't turn wild and crazy like those young actresses I won't mention names, but hey if they are happy who are we to judge. So I guess if we can take away something good from something bad then we win.

Hey mom, good post. I think your right when you say that you can find happiness in unexpected circumstances. Reid got called to be second counsellor in the elders quorum presidency today and while I'm aware that it will take away some of our time together, i know we will be blessed. Glad you're doing ok
