Just returned home from running errands. Alex and I went and approved the sketch for the grave stone. I really like it. Its two intertwined hearts. Thats how we were, two people who became one. Went to pick up a check at Trax. We raised $2500 for Grants scholarship fund at Foundation Christian Academy. I cant wait to get the check to Blane. Then I went to the grocery store and got totally overwhelmed. I just couldnt figure out what I needed to do. It happens that way sometimes. I feel really focused on what I need to get accomplished and all of a sudden I cant seem to concentrate. I really think my brain is tired. I just need a little rest. Three wonderful things happened yesterday. Grants cousin came in from Alabama and we had breakfast together. Then at lunchtime, one of Grants running buddies came by the house and picked up Grants running shirts. Shes going to make a quilt out of them for me to keep. I just cant get over what a sweet idea this is. Then yesterday afternoon, Alex and I went to Nashville to meet with Greg, one of Grants high school buddies. He took us to dinner and we got to see the Nashville Predators play. I dont know a lot about hockey, but it surely was fun. They played the Kings and went into overtime and eventually had a shoot out. Alex and I talked about how nice it was to just do something special. A few times I got sad missing Grant, but mostly I had a fun time. I was listening to a song as I came home today and was struck by this phrase: Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cant heal. Amen. God is teaching me that the anticipation is actually worse than the decisions I have to make or the events which cause me a bit of anxiety. For example, I was very anxious to go pick out a grave stone Monday, but when I got there, it really wasnt bad. Its been the same about other things I had to do. So Ive decided to just try to forgo any anxiety and know that it s all going to be ok. Ive been having some anxiety about the holidays, but Ive asked God to just help me skip the anxiety and know that the holidays will be fine. My friend, Jesus, is the Prince of Peace and I know hell take care of us. Im grateful for so many people who love Alex and me. I know many are praying for us and our family daily. I can never thank you enough. So I ask God to bless each and every one of you. Love you.
