Quiet Time

Today is one of those melancholy days. I need my quiet time to be still and alone in my thoughts. Chatting with God about stuff. Lots of stuff. But he has time, he always does, to listen.

Three years ago today, I lost my mom. Suddenly ~ gone.

Thinking of the times – more specifically, life - when things were different. Easier, less hurt in the heart. When I could just pick up the phone and talk to my mom or take her shopping on a whim.

I miss my mom so much. Often I suppress back the tears that seem to well up in my eyes at the oddest of times. A song on the radio will spark a memory. Sometimes a happy one, sometimes not.
Life has changed so much. In soooo many directions.

Today is a day for reflection. That’s all. I know many of you are walking with me in this journey. Others not. It’s hard to explain how I feel. I 'm lucky to feel my mom's spirit. I now live in her home and she is here with me and that makes me smile.

"All souls last forever...so we need not fear goodbye.
A kiss when I must go.

No tears....in time we'll say hello"
