Sometimes ideas come. Short poems. So what to do with them all.
So I am putting them here.

How to move forward when your heart is broken
just get going
Act happy
Act like you are interesed
Over time it happens
Life becomes good
Happier
You will always have those losses in your heart and mind
But todays blessings can be embraced

I would do it all over again.
In a heartbeat
Caring for the one I loved
And missing that caring
It had purpose
It had meaning
The most meaning in my life.
But he was my love
My guy.
Warts and all
A life with its imperfections
_________________________________________________________________
Spring with its green rejuvenates me.
The flowers, yell daffodils, purple crocuses, white snowdrops.

I have to do it myself. I can't wait for someone to do it for me. It's on me. I will not be a a burden to my kids or grandkids. But it is hard. Sometimes I feel so anxious I just freeze. I don't want to do anything. To get up, get going and just do it and do it again.

Keep going they say
One foot in front of the other
Stay Positive
You have lots to live for
Do I?
Positive when so much in life is over
My marriage, now a widow
My job, now retired
Grandchildren maturing and venturing into the world
Daughters with middle age stresses
Not always happy
Geopolitical world turmoil
Heh it's Martin Luther King Day

Snowplows are on Yonge street
Several Dump trucks are collecting mounds of snow. Economic meeting in Davos Switzerland.
The craze of making sour dough bread.

So basically I cleaned up one pile of writing and notes and short stories that I thought I would rewrite and make better.
Sometimes it is best to finish a project as is. I can always review all the last few posts anytime, add, correct, revise if I want.
The Widow Series has been a good project. But I have been processing the last few months of my widow journey. I feel I have turned a corner. So getting the project here on my blog has been cathartic.
As anyone who reads my blog knows I am already thinking of the next project.
