Christmas, Darrell's daughter-in-law, Kristy gave me a beautiful journal and pen. I am grateful for the gifts, not because she was thoughtful by purchasing something lovely (and they truly are lovely) for me but because she paid attention to who I am and what I like. When I thanked her she told all Darrell's family that I am writing a book.
How sweet and considerate! I am truly grateful.
So, what ever happened to that book?
I haven't completely abandoned it but I certainly have not been a good nurturing parent either.
A funny thing happened on my way to becoming a famous author and artist.
I stopped grieving. Not completely. I have moments when I miss Les so much I break down but most of the time I am truly happy once again. (Thank you, Darrell)
It is difficult to write a book about grief and dying when one is happy. Just the same I do believe my book needs to be written for those out there who are grieving deeply and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Therefore, I will dig out my old notes and get back to the book. A blogging friend of mine starts his day off with his Hour Of Power (HOP). Every morning he dedicates one hour to improving himself. I have decided to begin my own HOP which will be dedicated to the book. An hour a day is enough time. More time spent on such a dreary subject would start bringing me down and I don't like that person.
Thank you Rich, for your clever idea. I am sure it will be quite beneficial to me as it is to you.
