FUN FOTO FRIDAY: NO OUTTAKES FOR THE WEEK 1/7/13

1/11/2013

 
I’ve learned a few things about aging gracefully.  I’ve certainly had plenty of time in the classroom, not to mention plenty of homework. And while my bones are beginning to creak, my skin beginning to sag and my mind occasionally out for a stroll (usually when I'm headed up the stairs to get something that was important when I was downstairs), those concessions are nothing when it comes to matters of the heart.  
 
There are no pills or potions, creams or concoctions when it comes to reducing the emotional toll of living and loving with abandon.  I tackle the regret, the disappointments, the failures and the losses the same way I do everything else – with hope, with help, with humility.  It helps that I'm a talker. 

I talked quite a bit with friends and family before Jimmy and I put down our family pet of 18 years on Wednesday of this week.  I thought I was prepared.   Logic rarely has the upper hand with sentiment. 
 
Two days later, I know more than I did when I went with the tide of emotions that come with loss.  This, too, shall pass.   Meanwhile, I rely on the grief that keeps the world turned down to a reasonable volume to manage my recovery.  The muffled sounds of life are a comfort for the moment. 
 
Please accept my apologies for the lack of Fun Fotos.  Fun is just too much effort today.
