Hello all,  It has been a rough ending to this week as my mother in-law passed suddenly on black friday.  She was shopping and doing what she liked doing so that part wasn't so bad.  Having hard time wrapping my mind around school, and am determined to get what needs to be done, done.  Tommorrow will be long as we will go to the funeral home.  Time is so very short, it is just over a year since my mom passed and my dad a couple years before that.  I am reminded of a quote from Denis Waitley, "View change as the one constant in your life.  Welcome it.  Expect it.  Anticipate it."  Anticipating how one will feel and handle something can be surprising!  I will post again for my topic and thesis statement.
