Life is a journey...

...all the cliches and the hokey movies and songs are right!  You wake up one day and realize that life is putting one foot in front of the other and just doing it!  Nike had it so right - JUST DO IT!  I am on the journey back to fun (maybe not today or tomorrow...but one day I'm going to have fun again!)

We had the most beautiful sunrise in Colorado Springs the other morning and the rays bounced off Pikes Peak on the drive to work.  I looked up and smiled knowing that Mike was smiling down on me and enjoying the view from above.  He's in a better place so why can't I be?  Why must I be weighed down with the guilt and the should haves and the could haves?  Why can't I let go and enjoy this exact moment for what it is...a step in the journey?

The therapist said that it takes telling your grief story 200 times to start healing from a loss.  I asked if blogging about it counted since so many people read about my pain and she said no.  I had to verbally speak it aloud so it's no longer mine to own - to let it blow away with the wind! 

Let the fun begin...
