Hmmm.....
I really don't know how I'm feeling....my head is in the shed. I find myself doing more stupid things than usual, not a clue what day it is, or if something happened this morning, yesterday or 4 days ago!!!
I keep getting little sentimental 'Mam Moments', sometimes tearful, sometimes pure grateful and love :-)
My Mam had a life well lived, so fruitful, so effective, so giving.....she gave so much of herself to her family & God and managed to reach out to so many others in all kinds of ways.
Her heart was open and her house was open. No one was ever turned away. There are so many happy memories that I have, so fond, so fresh, so beautiful.
It is because she is all this and more I have every reason in the world to miss her. I've been missing her so long because of her illness. Missing her so very much with an ache in my heart, in my being.....and now, well, she is healed in Heaven.
But I truly look forward to seeing you, Mam, with your new mind and new body.
I miss you Mam, so much.
I've been looking at some old pics & appreciating the fantastic childhood you and Dad gave me, gave us. I've been talking with friends & family and we've been tripping down memory lane :-) I'm looking forward to some more of that on Friday. But I wish you were gonna be there.....you'd love that too :-) People say I take after you in more ways than looks. I can see that in some ways I do......and those are all the bits of me that I actually like :-)
See you'll always be with me :-)
But I miss ya.
Now what was I gonna blog about....oh yeah, I'm not sure how I'm feeling..............did I mention my head is in the shed?!!!!!
Thanks for listening!!!!

Proverbs 31: 10-31 NCV
" It is hard to find a good wife, because she is worth more than rubies. Her husband trusts her completely. With her, he has everything he needs. She does him good and not harm for as long as she lives. She looks for wool and flax and likes to work with her hands. She is like a trader's ship, bringing food from far away. She gets up while it is still dark and prepares food for her family and feeds her servant girls. She inspects a field and buys it. With money she earned, she plants a vineyard. She does her work with energy, and her arms are strong. She knows that what she makes is good. Her lamp burns late into the night. She makes thread with her hands and weaves her own cloth. She welcomes the poor and helps the needy. She does not worry about her family when it snows, because they all have fine clothes to keep them warm. She makes coverings for herself; her clothes are made of linen and other expensive material. Her husband is known at the city meetings, where he makes decisions as one of the leaders of the land. She makes linen clothes and sells them and provides belts to the merchants. She is strong and is respected by the people. She looks forward to the future with joy. She speaks wise words and teaches others to be kind. She watches over her family and never wastes her time. Her children speak well of her. Her husband also praises her, saying, "There are many fine women, but you are better than all of them." Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you, but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised. Give her the reward she has earned; she should be praised in public for what she has done."
'Nuff said :-)
