Good Morning Friends!

Ahhhhh.... Saturday. And for once - I have no big plans. Sure, I have a million things I'd like to get done, but nothing I HAVE to do. That's a miracle!

I am so enjoying reading your uplifting posts. I wish everyone on DB would come here and read. They need to know that their lives won't always be in a holding pattern. They need to know that the gut wrenching horror they are going through, that actually physical pain in the heart will subside. No, life will never be the same again but it is not all doom and gloom. Change can be wonderful. I was terrified of the changes I faced. But not anymore. I am happy once again, just as so many of you over here on the "Surviving" side are as well.

My son, Brandon arrived last night to spend the weekend. It looked at first as though it might just be him and I spending Thanksgiving dinner together on Mon (Canadian holiday). So I opted for a restaurant since I'll just be getting back from Toronto where I'm having turkey dinner on Sun with Josh's family. Here in Canada, we celebrate the whole w/e and many have the dinner the day before the real Thanksgiving. But my sis, who is in California this w/e mentioned that she would be getting back in time for dinner on Mon and planned to go for dinner with her kids and our brother. So, we are all going together. Likely dad is free to join us. And Ash will be back in time. So it seems 12 of us will be dining out together. That's a miracle!

Another perfect day here in Niagara. Sun shining across the park. Not a cloud in the sky. Rare I am not on the cottage for this w/e but whenever I would go it would be very cold and rainy. Lucky for the others I stayed home - LOL!

So, I hope to recarpet my latest dollhouse and do some painting of it. Hope to reorganize my closet. It has been in the works but to date - unfinished. I am donating clothes I have not worn in a while. I think there will be nothing left from my "Married" days when I'm done. And that's not a bad thing.

So, taking an easy day and glad of it. What are you doing this w/e?
