Let me tell you two reminders which I've received over the past few days that have made today a beautiful day.
The back story: this retirement stuff is not for the faint of heart...but I LOVE each of the jobs I am doing! However. It has lead to a crazy house with stuff everywhere, paint that needs to be on walls, flooring still not ordered, car issues not dealt with, paperwork everywhere, alot of eating out and not going to the grocery. Just kind of chaos
Coming back from a burial the other day, I was chatting with Becky about hobbies and kids in sports and just busy life stuff. She said she set a goal to read a book a month and even with small kids she surpassed her goal. That encouraged me! Lesson 1. Put the phone down and make the time.
So today, I started to clean and organize the basement, but I stopped when the sun came out. 1I grabbed my book I've been reading for well over 4 years now!!! and headed for the pool. I open the book to this excerpt from (no relation) To Soften The Blow. And guess what...I read for while, then, following Lynnie's example, told God whatever was in my mind I was giving to Him for now, and I flippin took a nap! Woke up, read a little more and now going to get to ready and go have dinner with a friend that revives my soul every time I see her!
I'll work on the basement AND read again tomorrow. No more punishing myself for not getting things done, but motivating and giving myself permission to do more of what I love. Lesson 2. Grateful for both!

I know I've done my job well as a Life Celebrant when the family (specifically a grieving mother) tells me, "I feel like you are family to us now". Love being able to make a small difference in the toughest of times.

For my people who are members of the club we never wanted to join...

WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE TO A PARENT
You are suddenly living in a whole new world.

You are no longer ‘the child’ and regardless of how long you have officially been ‘grown up’ for, you realise you actually never were until this moment. The shock of this adjustment will shake your very core.

When you have finally said goodbye to both your parents, assuming you were lucky enough to have had two. You are an orphan on this earth and that never, ever gets easier to take no matter how old and grey you are yourself and no matter how many children of your own you have.

You see, a part of your body is physically connected to the people that made it and also a part of your soul. When they no longer live, it is as if you are missing something practical that you need – like a finger or an arm. Because really, you are. You are missing your parent and that is something far more necessary than any limb.

And yet the connection is so strong it carries on somehow, no-one knows how exactly. But they are there. In some way, shape or form they are still guiding you if you listen closely enough. You can hear the words they would choose to say to you.

You can feel the warmth of their approval, their smile when a goal is achieved, their all-consuming love filling the air around you when a baby is born they haven’t met.

If you watch your children very closely you will see that they too have a connection with your parents long after they are gone. They will say things that resonate with you because it brings so many memories of the parent you are missing. They will carry on traits, thoughts and sometimes they will even see them in their dreams.

This is not something we can explain.

Love is a very mystical and wondrous entity.

It is far better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all and grief, grief is the price of that love. The deeper the love the stronger the grief.

When you say goodbye to a parent, do not forget to connect with that little girl who still lives inside you somewhere.

Take very good care of her, for she, she will be alone and scared.

When you say goodbye to your parents, you lose an identity, a place in the world. When the people who put you on this earth are no longer here, it changes everything.

Look after yourself the way they looked after you and listen out for them when you need it the most.

They never really leave.
