It was good to be able to say that I did well in seeing myself capable of being "just me". Now there is the blessing of Simon to fill my days once again with sharing myself with another. Blessings abound ... sadness is just the other side of happiness and to really live, you'll have to accept it all. Keep living and loving well Beth! You are kind to remind us all of many life lessons.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240639319040464225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-67857795147014557652009-06-18T09:46:53.970-05:002009-06-18T09:46:53.970-05:00beautiful words beth. i'm excited for you thi...beautiful words beth. i'm excited for you this approach you're taking to all of this wide open space in your life! who knows what you might discover about yourself in that space!viviennehttp://www.viviennemcmaster.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-3277880485003150602009-06-18T09:24:08.521-05:002009-06-18T09:24:08.521-05:00enjoy this season. you deserve it!
