Thoughts Notes Words

We chased the sunset
and caught the sunrise
We headed west
and did not stop for rest
We made it there in time.
Oh thank God we made it in time.
I said goodbye and said my piece
Oh thank God we made it in time.

Well hello blog, remember me? It’s been awhile since I’ve been on this thing. Well what do you know, it’s spring again in the great state of Minnesota. I was listening to the Peter Gabriel song the other day “Grieve” not sure if that is the exact title, but it got me thinking. No matter what’s going on in your life not matter what kind of chaos or what kind of sadness, the sun will rise, the seasons will change, and night will turn into day. Right now, for me one day at a time are words to truly live by. About six weeks back or so I was in this terrible funk and just down and depressed and I don’t know something just snapped and I realized I can’t make everyone happy and I can’t worry about it any more. I’ve also realized I can’t be depressed about things I can’t control. I was nervous when the phone rang, thinking someone on the other end of the phone was calling to give me bad news. I worry when I can’t get a hold of people, especially my Mom, she’s always so worn out these days. It’s hard living so far away right now. My Mom is my after work phone call, sometimes it’s a laugh fest as we get caught up on the family gossip or it’s just a quick how was your day. These past two weeks have been hard b/c my after work phone call hasn’t been happening. I miss my Mom, are you ever too old to just miss your Mom?

take care
