Today Tuesday

Today Tuesday......another beautiful day. It has been so nice outside, I know that the wind and rain will be here soon.
The summer, this summer went by so fast and it was mostly chaotic and sad for me. My life is calmer since a while but I still feel the sadness. My life now is before my friend passed away and after my friend passed away. I am not the same since that happened.
I joined another grief support group, this one is local and will meet once a week for the next eight weeks. Small group.
Mostly women, one man. Two fascilitators, male and female. We got books, so we will get homework. I can say this.....I have talked about my sadness. A lot. But some of the people in the grief support groups (I attend another one as well since a few months now), they say that they don't have anybody to talk to about how they feel and that going to a group and being able to talk really helps. If you feel sad and do not have anyone to talk to, find a group. And talk. Cry. I cry A LOT. During the groups, in front of people that I just met. 

On yesterday's evening walk with Kaya. It is very pretty in Astoria.

Last week I went to Portland for a couple of days. A visit to IKEA, had to eat there. Plant balls for me. The cake was awful, did not finish it. I bought a pillow, been looking for a pillow and I think I found a good one. It is called 'Skogsfräken' and it is thin so my neck is more comfortably aligned when I sleep.

A beautiful pot of plants. The colors are amazing.

And this pretty flower with an amazing color. Nature is so beautiful.

I drive by this cute dragon mural often. Do you know your Chinese zodiak sign? We are now in the year of the snake.

My plans for the rest of the week......back to Portland tomorrow for errands, meeting up with friends and grief support group. Community service (work) Friday and Saturday. Laundry on Sunday. Maybe a blog entry on Sunday as well.
Until then, be safe out there.
