'Tis the end of my birthday *day* this evening . . . .
Thank goodness I got through it. Wasn't really looking forward to it.
Spent it sitting in the jury box. Pretty fitting for a Libra, eh?

1. My dear BW925...
I'm sorry you had to spend it in a jury box, indeed...

Some days are very hard to get through.

I'm glad you're almost done with today...

I want to wish you a Happy Birthday, anyway, sweetie!

I wish it had been a truly happy day for you...

:hug:

2. Darling CP . . . .
I think it was truly *Divine Intervention* as this is the first birthday for me since I lost my dear Larry.
This day last year he was being admitted to the hospital for transfusions (which they weren't sure he would make it through) and he wasn't even aware that it was my birthday. Not a good memory for me - he always found just the right card to give - last year, nothing. I miss him dearly.

4. I know you miss him...
I think how I would feel if my beloved husband died and left me alone, and it scares me...

:hug:

5. There are no instruction manuals for this . . . .
I've been half-crazy this past year and have done some things that I wouldn't ordinarily do. I can't make decisions - I flake out on people and I'm really not too happy with myself.. . . .

but, I am trying.

It's awful, I tell you.

12. I read a book called "Widow" a long time ago...
And some of its lessons have stayed with me.

First, you are crazy for at least the first year. So, make no big or major decisions during that time.

I think that was the big one that I really remembered.

Take care of yourself!

I had a friend who lost her husband traumatically. She went to bereavement groups and did well. It was tough for her.

You might try something like that, if you haven't already...

:hug:

14. I envy you
I've been through voir dire twice but never served. I'd really like to be part of the process — provided it wasn't some boring-ass trial for somethin' stupid.
