MORNING MUSING

I did a better job this past weekend of actually taking the time off that I was supposed to take and tuning out a bit. Every time I do, I'm reminded how important it is to do so on a somewhat regular basis. Have to have that chance to reset every so often. I enjoyed celebrating my birthday with friends and family, but that was tempered a bit by the sad news of my former mother-in-law's passing. She was 96 years old and had been in poor health, so it didn't come as a tremendous surprise, but it still carries the heartache — particularly for my daughter, who was very close with her Grandma. I consider myself very fortunate in that my second "Mom" was always very good to me. She welcomed me into their family and always had a smile and a laugh to share. And that remained the case even after my ex and I divorced. Rest in peace, Carolgene, and know that you are missed.
