Love life!

[Lydie>--]

Working under pressure paid off. Obviously, as stated earlier in the other blog, I am not happy to be a procrastinator and really must work toward learning about my mistakes and staying away from that way of doing things. I tried blogging yesterday and the day flew by and once home I was too exhausted. Saturday went so beautifully well. I am grateful to an extremely high level to a few key people that made this all possible. The memorial discourse given by a family friend, was so touching. Afterward, I heard 100 compliments about the memorial talk and also that not an eye in the audience was left dry. The orator even gave way to tears (a good heartfelt cry that lasted a lil while). There were well over 200 people. And for the reception 130+ people. Some people actually came and left cause they felt bad that there were so many people.

I really need to buy thank you cards and spread love back. People make the world go round and they certainly made our tears hurt a little less on that day! I am grateful that everything went well. My mother was impressed (she told me so 2 days later). Now we all have to make sure that we take care of her otherwise she won't last long! She was so used to being with my father 24/7!!!

I am grateful for all on the CCOR site that were so supportive. Now a new chapter is starting. When someone die's - it's a time to reflect on your own life. If I would die tomorrow, what would I be remembered for? So it's time to accomplish things and truly live life!

Love life my friends cause yo just never even know when.....

Oh my goodness! That must be hard on her.. being used-to your father 24/7... I'm so glad she has such a loving daughter to appreciate her and be her guiding spirit during hard times. but wow, I'm not suprised she was impressed.. 130+ people along with 200.. that's quite a gathering.

I think your "thank you" card is a great idea, people love feedback because as humans, we're "cool" like that.. lol!

As for your plans, I support you 100% water is the source of your life.. so your body will love you for nourishing it.. and it wont hold back in showing it's gratitude with nice skin and overall good health. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar... lovely visuals. I absolutely loved your list.. I'll have to join you with it as well, it's too delicious to hold back on..

So remember, while you're doing these... you're not alone... you've got your friends somewhere out there sharing the energy!
