it's grey and rainy here - but beautiful and i've got ravi shankar jamming on pandora and it suits my mood - mellow, quiet, just okay with being alone, - haven't felt those things in a long time:)
hope you're feeling better? and focusing on enjoying your sons being with you
my yoga teacher told me that whenever a painful thought comes up - open a window in your mind and let it gently waft through and then gently close the window.
i've been doing that whenever i remember to and it really helps.
my motto for the day - use anything and everything that helps, even if it helps only for 2 minutes (grin)

Zig - totally into Ravi here too! Love your yoga teacher's advice!
rick - i could never listen to the sitar all these years - couldn't stand it and i'm from india to boot. and now, i "discovered" his music and play it while i do my yoga - it's wonderful stuff and so uplifting
tonight i heard a piece that he played with Yehudi Menuhin - there's a whole album, my heart just about melted completely, it was so beautiful and peaceful..

On Sat hosted a small b-day party for a friend at my home. It was fun but a little melancholy as this is the first time I've entertained since H left. We were always a team and then enjoyed rehashing as we cleaned up.
But it was still fun and life is different now.
Met a very dear friend for coffee Sunday morning. She moved to a different town and I haven't seen her since last fall. It was so good to catch-up. We have the type friendship in which we can start the conversation after a length of time has passed as if there was only a pause between sentences. We laughed so much!
I passed my copies of 5 Love Languages, Passionate Marriage, and How to Fix You Marriage Without Talking About It on to her. Might be helpful in keeping her M intact. (I didn't foist them on her, we had talked about it beforehand)
Sun evening I joined some other friends for dinner and the season opener of Mad Men. That was fun!
A good GAL weekend! Now I just need to plan some bigger adventures for the future, especially this summer as it heats up here in the desert. Must escape to cooler climes.
