I’m writing to you from my View on the Window on the River. I know it has been awhile. My fault, I haven’t made a conscience decision to write to this site every week. I could say I’m planning on turning over a new leaf and I will write every week, but I do know all about the road to hell and good intentions.
So I’ll I can say is I’m going to write today.
Returned yesterday from a weekend in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Was a terrific time with Family. Nothing much beats a weekend with Family. This is the second one in a row that I have been able to experience.
The weekend before we all were at our daughter Erica’s. Her and Chris always make their home available and make everyone feel welcome. I thank them for the wonderful time. It wasn’t event after event, it was mainly hanging out together and carrying out some familiar time honored traditions. Anyone who knows us well understands about the performance of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Playing games and celebrating the 4th of July and Birthdays. We had some of each that weekend.
This last weekend was spent with even more extended family. Cousins first and second or first cousins once removed, however you define it. An aunt and uncle, nephews and friends. It was a time of renewal and also of commitment to an organization that supports a real need.
My cousin’s daughter, Jackie and a friend have built an organization called Halos Hudson. The organization offer support for parents and families that have lost a child. They offer emotional, physical , and financial support, whatever is needed by the family who is facing this atrocious loss.
The support of the Hudson community was outstanding. They have come together to embrace an organization that offers something that is so necessary buy you don’t often see.
Our pride and support are with you Jackie.
My view is that when we can reach out to others, we also find a peace and a means of support. The same people we reach out to reach back to us in a time of need. Our country needs to get back to the helping hands of others and not depend upon the government to do the only helping. I’m not going to get on a soap box. Just a short observation that the feeling you get from helping, cannot be felt by our government.
I’ve been working on my novel and have made some major overhauls to it. Hope it is improvements. Still working on the edits.
I also have reworked a piece I wrote awhile back a few years ago in fact. Have read the original at the Marion County Writers Workshop the other night. They felt it needed more emotion so I have rewritten and do hope that I accomplished that. Not exactly sure what my intentions for the piece is, but once I get a positive nod from the group I will figure it out. May end up here, who knows for sure.
This next weekend off for another great time with family, Brittany’s baby shower. I need to figure out which of the many items I’ve purchased for this little one will be shower gifts. Fun complication.
Until next time "Remember Who You Are."
