An October Day

Here it is October 2006. I think it's going to be a tough month to get through. I seem to be thinking of Cathy all the time. I don't think a day has gone by this past year that I haven't thought about her, but lately I am reminded of her many times a day. We shared such wonderful times together. I try to keep busy which gives me less time to feel lonely and sorry for myself. I have found that walking really helps to pass the time and it doesn't hurt weight loss either. I have never been one to write, but for some reason I just feel like putting my thoughts down about Cathy helps me to deal with the loss. I reread the blogs on this site and realize I am the only one still blogging... so maybe that is why I feel so comfortable doing it. I still haven't figured out how to do paragraphs. I have so much to be thankful for.. my wonderful family, my children, their spouses and my grandchildren. I don't know how I would have gotten though this past year without them. I can only say that now I will continue to do what the plaque Chelle gave me says, ".......You can do what she'd want: Smile, Open Your Eyes, Love and Go On." I don't think I like October very much. My brother, Leo, passed away in October (10/10/97) so I feel like I lost both a brother and a sister in October. I know they both knew how much I cared about them, so that makes me feel better. Enough sadness, I will now get on with my life. I have to get ready to go to my Wednesday night Bible Study Group. Thanks to Cathy's strong faith, I have found my way back to the Lord.
