Be OK

I took this picture at the funeral home the other day. Making arrangements to bring my mom and brother to rest with my father yesterday. My mom passed away right before Covid became a reality. Her Memorial service at St. Catharine's was beautiful. But, the timing wasn't right to bury her. It just didn't feel right, because my son was still on the road touring. So, yesterday my son and I put my mom and brother to rest. It was a hard day. But, waking up today I feel the stregnth of a new day. I hear the birds singing. Rain is falling on a summer garden I planted last weekend (still hoping it was not too early). I have a bunch of collages I am working on, that I am happy with (so far). VHS videos I had left at Costco in January are finished and ready to pick up. I ordered a book my son-in-law wrote. I watch videos over and over again of my grandson from Easter. My son and I were able to chat a bit, which always feels good. My friend's saying that"every moment matters" is ringing true with everything I do. So far, the best thing I have learned lately is every moment is a new moment and every day is a new day. Each with experiences we may have never experienced before. I think I have been too hard on myself, because I feel I should know what to do all the time. But, no, still at this age I am learning I am never going to be perfect, and it is time I stop trying and just be. Be myself, be still, be quiet, be open, be thankful, and feel everything moment by moment and day be day. And, most of all have faith that everything will be alright, everything will be ok. Quote of the day: Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.” – Oprah Winfrey Song of the Day: Ingrid Michelson Begin Again
