it's been ages...

It has been a long time away from the fledgling blog, but since no one is really reading it but me, I will suit my own timetable.
There seem to be one busy day piling up on another with no time to rest and catch up with life. I feel as if I could stay awake for a week and not 'catch up' with all of my to-do lists, but that is the life of an over-extended working mom. Yesterday, March 4th was also the 8-year anniversary of my mom's death, and Sunday, March 2nd, was Mother's Day here in Ireland, both leaving me feeling a bit sad and left out. I cannot believe how raw the loss of my mom still is after this length of time, nor can I believe how much of my life (and children) she has missed. It is sad. How does one ever accept such a loss?
I am not a person of faith, so I an left with anger and sadness. I accept that death is a part of life, and inevitable one, but I still think it sucks.
In my last post I mentioned Lisa Leonard's silver word-stamped stuff, and I finally received my THRIVE necklace today, along with a couple of rings with the girls names in them.
So, I guess I better just focus on that- go back to that word, and do it.
Thrive.
THRIVE.
