LIFE GOES ON

Just when we think we've figured things out,
the universe throws us a curve ball . So,
we have to improvise. We find happiness
in unexpected places, We find ourselves 
back to the things that matter the most.
The universe is funny that way.

I don't think anyone in my family
was sad to see February end and
March begin. Not only did we
say goodbye to my mother in law
[thank you for all your heartfelt
comments], we also said good bye
to a favorite aunt. Sad times. BUT
it is a new month and not one to
mope about, a renewed outlook.

There are hugs and kisses to share,
laughter and tears, happiness and joy,
hard work and fun play, and love [always]
There is knitting [always knitting too],
embroidery projects, recipes to
try in the kitchen, walks to be taken,
gardens to be planted, Easter to plan
for and sunrises and sunsets to watch.

I may never understand how this world
works and I am trying to be okay with
that; LIFE is short, goes by quickly
and I don't want to waste a moment
of it!

Much love,
Tracey
XO

  9. I'm sorry for your recent losses to the family circle. It is always hard to say goodbye. But I like your realistic attitude toward this circle of life.

  10. I don't know why love must lead to loss and grief in the end, but I do know that it is always worth it and it never ends. My family is grieving several losses, including my uncle who died last month. I have not been able to write a post in weeks. But, your photos lifted my spirits and encouraged me. Yes, life goes on--it is short, it is hard, and it is good. ♥
