Project 365 – Week 12
I was sitting at the dinner table this past Friday and I commented to my husband that this past week actually felt like at least two weeks. I was tired and still had much to do. Greif clouds your judgment and skews the perception of the passage of time. I did however manage to take my pictures this week. I have recognized that one of the things that helps me at least, is to have something else to focus on from time to time to take my mind off of how sad I am. So taking pictures was a wonderful distraction.

Very early Sunday morning the first blossoms began to open on my new cherry tree.

I had some shopping (more opportunities for distraction) to do for a friends birthday and I just happen up on this great coffee mug on CLEARANCE!
We were actually reading Galatians 5 and talking about the Fruit of the Spirit in bible study this week so I figured it was a sign from the Holy Spirit…so I bought the cup.

I could go for a very long time without ever seeing one of these boxes of funeral home Kleenex's. But the reality is that I will probably see many more of them as the years go by. By the end of the funeral I had a rather large bundle of used Kleenexes in my purse.

It was a week, some very sad things happen but then some very wonderful things happen as well. One year ago my sweet little St. Patrick’s Day Grandbaby arrived. We had a beautiful spring day at the park for her first birthday party. Look at that sky, it almost doesn't even look real it’s so perfect and blue and the clouds were just awesome!
I will try to contain myself as I snapped over 100 images at the party. After the week I had it was a wonderful change to celebrate, laugh and eat cake! The little green shamrock was her very own cake. She had a wonderful time getting all green and sticky with frosting!
I will close with these last two pictures.
I found it wonderfully bitter sweet that just outside the pavilion where we had the party was a very small garden with a plaque.
God is so very good. The week started with a very sad farewell, yet as we ended out the week with a wonderful celebration He showed me that even in my grief and sadness over the loss of Aubrey there is still joy.
It’s been a week y’all.
For more 365’ers head over to Sara and check it out!
Blessings

Your flower photos are stunning; especially love the cherry blossoms!
Your pictures were all beautiful this week but I think that green frosted baby had to be the sweetest!
But love a green icing covered face! :)
I cant wait for my cherry tree to blossom like that... cant believe the difference in just a few days... Oh, come on Spring - get my blooms a buddin!
The cherry tree is breathtaking. (Always wanted one of those...)
So's the cactus.
Love the "green" baby. ;)
And the statue. So touching. The story. So heartbreaking. I'm ever so sorry. I truly can't imagine that kind of pain...
