Nice day

"If you are happy on the inside you will be happy on the outside, so think only loving, happy thoughts over the next 24 hours. Look on the bright side in everything you do and life will be a garden of delights."

Good last 24 hours.  Picked up a high school friend and her daughter at 11 a.m. yesterday and dropped off at the airport at 11 a.m. today.  In between, we did some walking down memory lane and sharing stories with the daughter.  Stopped by graveyard to see the graves of her family.  Then we got an incredible laugh going to the movies to see The Heat.  I go to the move theater VERY SELDOM, but am very happy that I went yesterday.  Great break in the action for me.  Then to Wilson's for dinner (the bar/restaurant in my backyard).  This morning to the airport at 6 a.m. to drop off daughter, then back to my apt so I could take a shower and HAVE COFFEE.  Then off to Panera for breakfast, sitting outside in a very nice weather and then back to the airport to drop off my friend to head back to Texas.  Good visit.

Then off to work #2.  Walk.  Came home and cleaned the apt and did a load of wash - towels and sheets.  I am not used to having company.  Then my son called and said he will be taking the train to CT on Sunday p.m. so it will be a late night pick up, but that will mean no running around on Monday.  Calling hours start at 4 p.m. on Monday and the service will be at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.  Sounds like my son will stay over Tuesday night so that will be a very good thing for me.  He is trying to borrow some clothes that will be appropriate.  I told him that we could go out and buy something on Monday if he runs into a dead end.

Tonight I have all the window wide open.  The temperature and humidity level are perfect.  I am a lucky girl.  I even put nail polish on in preparation to get my hands ready for Monday and Tuesday.  I will meeting lots of people (some might be for the first time) and lots of hand shaking could be in store.  We will see.  Waiting so long between my mother's death and her service could limit the number of people who come, but it will be what it will be and nothing will take away from my mother's legacy.  It would be fine with me if we did not have a service, but that was not the family consensus so I will let that go and just experience the next few days.

Good day and I am ready for what is ahead.
