all smiles…
things are good. the grief workshop is over, and it feels wonderful to be getting back to living again.
the dogs keep me oh so busy. they are used to lori being home all day, so by the time i get back from work in the evening they are all over me.
and all over my friends.
and all over each other.
it’s a super-hyper, drooling, hairy pooch fest around my house pretty much each and every night. anyway, they keep the love pouring in, and i certainly can’t complain about that.
today feels wonderful. the potluck was delicious, but it was hard to say goodbye to all of my new friends in the workshop. we agreed to have a BBQ in a couple of months, to check in on each other and just spend some time hanging out *outside* of our grief.
i’m really looking forward to that.
also, the next grief workshop starts in three weeks (April 29th,) and i’ve agreed to chair the first meeting.
i’ve gotten so much out of my work in the workshop, and i felt it was the least i could do to give back to this amazing organization.
anyway, back to work, and bless you all… have a happy wednesday… -cary
Wow Cary! That’s fabulous that you are going to chair the first meeting. I have a good feeling you are gonna be the best lead that group’s ever seen! Congrats on getting back to living. You are an inspiration and example of being the master of your own journey. -a

You have taught me so much and helped me so much. I am amazed by your strength and feel relieved that you feel lifted and somewhat happier.
Be happy and keep smiling.
Lots of love

Thanks ladies
I’m happy to say that I feel a lot more than “somewhat happier.” Cancer ate up five years of my life, and while I wouldn’t give those years up for anything in the world, I am SOOOOOO over it now.
The disease simply doesn’t deserve any more of my time.
Yes, I still cry sometimes, and I still feel like the whole thing was terribly unfair, but all in all I feel damned good to finally be free of the constant pain.
I feel just wonderful right now. It is easily the best I have felt since Lori’s diagnosis so very long ago…
I couldn’t be happier for you Cary……
See you in a couple days…your loving sister!
happy wednesdee!
congratulations cary!
we are all smiling with you, it sounds like : )
how incredible it is that you offered to lend a hand to the next group,
and help them to where you find yourself now.
there couldn’t be a more loving act.
you are extraordinary, don’t you think?
Cary says a lot on what you’ve been able to accomplish in dealing with your grief in volunteering to chair the first meeting, I’m proud of you. When your group gets together in a few months, hopefully it will find all of you doing better and moving forward. Your dog is adorable, love the smile on your face. Can feel the great lift in your words, you sound so upbeat, good for you. You have a good rest of the week yourself. Arlene (AJ)
