May 15


I'm sorry I didn't take too long to get into some sort of block about writing. I think it's just been busy and I am working on trying to get disciplined in other areas I have let slide. the wedding is in less than two months now . I can't believe it. There are all these invites and RSVPs to get out now.

I've been a bit in a rut I think. I went to the gym today after wasting my money for too long telling myself I'll just go tomorrow. Tomorrow kept coming and I wasn't going. I talked to my brother on the phone and he helped encourage me. Lord knows we all need encouragement. I haven't been eating that great or sleeping that well either. Maybe I am a little stressed. I try not to let it show. I am happy and I am excited about good things happening. I don't know what happens to me.

Tomorrow is May 16. That is the day my Dad passed away 2 years ago. It's been a rough time for Mom especially. She is so lonely. she also lost her mother and 2 sisters and a brother (whom she was very close to ) in the past 2 years. The winter in northern MI hasn't helped. i think there will still be ice on Lake Superior in July! It was bitter cold this year.

I like it when I get the blog going and visiting pages. I'll get there again. I've taken some steps forward so I'm hanging in there!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

  1. Dear Cheryl!! It is always so good to read your blogs and see your awesome photos! Thank you for sharing memories of your dad. I remember when he left this world and you sharing your sorrow with us. We've all had ups and downs, joys and sorrows to share here. What a blessing these friendships are.

    Happy, happy wedding stuff!! Have you chosen your dress yet? We all need to know!! Love & hugs!

  2. If there is a wedding, I'd say that's probably the reason why you aren't eating or sleeping very well. We'll look forward to some photos from the big event. Have a good weekend. BTW, one of my sisters lives in southern Ohio and says she's always cold when they go to Michigan. I'm always cold when I go to an air-conditioned place in the US in the summer!
