Memorial Tree


I have been receiving some very kind comments on my last post about my scrapbook for my Jonny.....yes it is very therapuetic....along with the book and this blog I have done a balloon release with a grieving support group and bought a tree to be planted at my church....I still go through the stages of grief, and will for quite some time, but I still have the support of family, friends and co-workers...


I check Jonny's My Space to read the messages his friends continue send...he loved his friends and they love him....

    I am glad that the scrapbook for Jonny is therapuetic for you. The tree is lovely...another touching memorial to Jonny.
    Hugs and smiles to you, Beachgirl.

    Jonny's friends still sending him messages on his My Space page is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. And how wonderful for you, and you know a part of him will go with those friends all their lives.
    I really like Jonny's tree, and I really like his Mom too.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you,
    Eileen

    How incredible...I did the balloon thing for Mario with my son and dil...we wrote notes and put them inside the balloons and released them off a mountain in Phoenix. At first they didn't act as if they wanted to go up, but then they did, but ever so slowly...it made me feel close to my husband.

    And as for trees, the Master Gardeners' here have a memorial arboretum and I asked Mimi about getting a couple of trees there, so it amazed me when you wrote about the tree, too!

    blessings and prayers for healing,

    Sandy, there is a 'Charming Award' for you at my blog, there is no button that goes with this one though.
    A lot of the bloggers are saying the awards are getting to be a bit much, so I understand if anyone would rather not participate.
    Just want you to know I really enjoy your blog, and I really enjoy getting to know you better.
    Take Care,
    Eileen

Summertime, Garage Sales and Flea Markets

Summertime is here and I have been to a local flea market....I had a garage sales the Saturday before Memorial Day to get rid of the old and bring in the new.....or "new to me"..... I found burlap, a picture frame, window sheers, home decor, three accent pillows to go with the new bedspread in the master bedroom....and much, much more.....I even found a free-standing garden trellis for $15.00, original price was $112.00.....looks great in the garden....I have not decide what viney flower I will grow, yet....All in all I spent $30.00 including the trellis... I am still looking for more window treatments for the master bedroom, but there are more garage sales and flea markets out there waiting for me.....Happy Hunting everyone...

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

We all have talents. Some are veiled and some are in the open. I have several friends that helped me get through the first few days after Jonny's accident. Lynne helped with the logistics of getting the memorial organized, and driving me to see my son Brandon to tell him the tragic news. Crystal gathered the pictures and the stories of Jonny with me, his brother, his family, and his friends to decorate the display board. Peggy and Ruth were able to comfort me, with their empathetic abilities, having similar losses. My sister and Mom, comforting me and only wishing the plane from Florida brought them sooner. My friend Debbie, whose comforting words, caring and the ability to know what else I needed, such as bringing a wonderful stew, to nourish us and keep my strength up. The list goes on and on. The talents and kindness continues....all of these people were put into my life at different times and different areas. I know that God put them into my life for a reason...I am forever gra...

Personality Plus

I found a new blog site ... /www.reneeswope.blogspot.com/ .....she talks about, Florence Littauer's book Personality Plus...in this book four personalities are mentioned 1. Phlegmatic 2. Choleric 3. Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996. She is an excellent speaker, and the book is quite interesting. I have taken several personality test, through the years either in school or through work. I have read "Please Understand Me II" by David Keirsey about temperament, character and intelligence and "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, PhD. These books are interesting, informative, thought provoking and motivating. They not only tell you about your personality, but about those around you. They teach you about other's personalities. It teaches about diversity of pe...
