Even after death, life goes on 6.26.2012

Both of my aunts have been laid to rest.  Now, I pray that we don't have a repeat of this past month...ever again.

In the past week, I have been able to see my sisters, both of whom live in different states than my parents and I.  It was good to see them.  One sister has settled into the mother routine quite nicely while helping her friend raise his son.  The other has found love and is planning a wedding.  They both seem very happy.  As the older sister, that makes me smile.

My life isn't too bad either.  I'm still looking for ways to earn more from home but the drama in my life has calmed down considerably over the past few months.  My other half and I are getting along.  My oldest is working at a place she loves and looking forward to her future, which includes getting back into college and one day opening her own business.  My youngest is preparing for her junior year of high school and looking at colleges.  Things are well.  No complaints here.

My crazy Cocker Spaniel has even calmed down a bit now that we take regular walks several times a week.  I'm even getting a handle on this weight of mine by walking him so it's a win-win situation for me.  After our walk, he goes to sleep for several hours, which allows me to be productive working without him barking or wanting to go outside.

I can't say that I'm 100% happy with life but I'm content and focused and that is a good thing for me.
