Life's too short to waste it worrying about the things we can't control, things that won't matter in the big picture anyway. Remember that line from Patrick Swayze at the end of Ghost? There's only one thing we take with us from this life to the next: love.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685538277690762655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364621833086146525.post-17653945412554328612015-08-04T07:54:54.831-07:002015-08-04T07:54:54.831-07:00Thank you for your thoughtful reply Diane.

My hubby has slowed down to the point where he is perfectly happy to sleep the days away, but I find it impossible. I’m still at the stage of feeling guilty if I’m not busy. How daft is that?

It's true, your life changes at points where you have no control and you simply have to change gears. <br /><br />Before Tim passed, I knew I would have a lot of time on my hands and too much grief to actually not be focused on something where I needed to expend a lot of energy. I am relieved I made that decision because had I had the time to focus on the grief, I would not be able to stand it. <br /><br />Now I want to slow down and smell those roses and relax, but I need to finish what I started now. lol<br /><br />Oh well, the meandering road ahead has those speed bumps and those freeways. Where to turn, honey? Where to turn? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901684621715980573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364621833086146525.post-12368009295947453192015-08-03T14:47:59.021-07:002015-08-03T14:47:59.021-07:00Sometimes you just have to slow down and eat a gia...Sometimes you just have to slow down and eat a giant chocolate bar.<br /><br />Hugs and chocolate,<br />Shellyshellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596621767297173021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364621833086146525.post-1431899430383681442015-08-03T11:00:21.857-07:002015-08-03T11:00:21.857-07:00You're still with us, so glad you listened to ...You're still with us, so glad you listened to those doctors.<br />We do have to make ourselves slow down.
