Subject: Just checking in
Message: Hello ladies - I just wanted to stop in and say "hey"!! I pop over from time to time to read and to catch up on you gals. Today is 6 since since Mom passed away. In some ways, it seems like forever ago and in others - just like yesterday. It has been a busy 6 weeks - with 7 brothers and sisters, I feel like I am always on the phone with someone. And, my Mom's sister passed away last Friday (10th). My cousin was an only child - so, we have all been trying to help her go through this and deal with her loss as well as our own.
I know that the Good Lord says that he will not give us more than we can handle and that what does not kill us makes us stronger, but boy - I don't know know how much I can handle.
On a brighter note, I am looking forward to digging into that beauty box this weekend - hubby has to work, so it's just me and the box!!
Take care - Deb

Glad you mentioned the beauty box! I know I am next on the list, but I am going to opt out! I have nothing to contribute so I will bow out for now. May be I can participate again at a later date.
Have a great weekend with your exploration!

Message: Deb,
It is good to hear from you. I, too, am so sorry to hear about your aunt and that your family is dealing with even more loss at this time.
I can relate to your comment about the Good Lord not giving us more than we can handle. I keep thinking that I maxed out on challenges a long time ago and didn't need my current ones to become stronger or learn more lessons. But then again, we can only try to have faith in a greater plan that we don't yet understand.
I will be thinking of you and appreciate you checking in when you can. Enjoy a little fun distraction with the beauty products.
All the best,
Jill

Message: Deb,
I just looked out my backyard window. I have a very small fountain/waterfall there, but do not run the waterfall that often. I got the urge to run it, and within moments, a hummingbird stopped by to check it out. I thought of the lovely stories you told us of how your mom loved spring and hummingbirds. I thought of you and her immediately and it brought a smile to my face as I watched the hummingbird enjoy its little oasis of water.
Take care,
Jill

Message: Lark,
Don't feel badly - I'm having to eat my words today because it has been raining steadily and predicted with more storms all weekend. So that little hummingbird came by just in the nick of time before getting drenched!
Spring will be here!
