Scrapbooking and papercrafts, along with the friends I have made with this common interest have made my life so happy! I'm so thankful for this craft, heck let's just go ahead and call it an art!

'Tis the Season
Thanksgiving dinner was the last meal my father ate before he died December 8, 2004. I was chatting with Kris on IM last night and told her how lonely I had been that day! I wanted to call one of you but I don't want to call at a bad time or bug people. Yes, the pain is still there but I have, I think, finally learned to live my life. I'm finding my way in the community that I hated to move to. I've stopped complaining about "I DON'T WANT TO BE A NURSE" as DH has finally relented and accepted the fact that I'm not gonna do it! The psychologist told me last week that it had been several sessions since I had even mentioned nursing...she said that was progress. I've got one life and I don't want to spend any more of it in a hospital. I have a dream job in mind but don't know if it will ever come to pass. It's in God's hands. If you notice in my picture with Cassie I am wearing my necklace of a teardrop filled with some of my father's ashes. I wear it around his death and birthdays. Wow do I miss that man, he was my cheerleader, he'd say "go for your dream job Jan!" Now I live with two practical people in my life, both bean counters in a sense, my husband and my mother. What happened to the fun?

hi! here from SITS. great post! i agree with mandy above: go for it! :) cheers!
Oh my gosh, I feel your pain, I really do. I lost my dad just a few short months ago and the pain is still very real. There's rarely a day that goes by without tears and it breaks my heart to see my mom alone. They were a two-fer.
PS. You're into scrapbooking? I LOVE it! I'm not creative but I sure can follow a magazine layout. :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Hope to see you more!
Jan what knuckle heads we are. I was thinking the whole time don't forget the "Dear So So" and then I go and forget it. lol
I am sorry about your loss. I hope with time the pain is bearable. I lost my brother 20 years ago and some days it seems like yesterday.
I haven't been thinking about changing jobs but I have been wanting to get into graphic design. I can't seem to find a background I really love so I thought I could make one. lol Let's see how that turns out.
I hope you have a great weekend. I'll be visiting your blog again.
Hi - am here from SITS - I agree with the other posts, follow your heart!!
Let it be known that you are not alone. I still miss my father and still feel the pain of loss. The pain will go away but the loss never ceases. I hope the holidays are good to us all :) - stopping by from SITS
