Let's Chat

Happy Tuesday Everyone! it's a sunny day with pretty decent temperatures. Hopefully I can spend some time outside this afternoon. Yesterday turned into a day of phone calls. I didn't get to spend as much time here a I had planned. My first call was from my cousin who is visiting her parents in Massachusetts for her dads birthday and she's staying until after Mothers Day. We had a long chat, caught up on family stuff, etc. Normally we don't have much chance to have a real live conversation since she's busy, busy, busy so it was nice to have the time yesterday. Then one of my best friends called to tell me that her daughters step-daughter was tragically killed in a car accident. She was only 18 years old and the family is devastated. Follow that call from another friend who is mourning the loss of her dog. Of course both friends were going through two entirely different situations but both needed to talk. My day was pretty emotionally draining. I have so much to do today but really need to sit here, have my coffee and chat for awhile. I need to read some uplifting posts even if it's just about what's for dinner Hope you're having a good day

A chat is mostly made up of as they say the good, bad and the ugly. But chat we must.

That's so sad to hear about 2 different people having 2 different deaths I don't blame you for just taking time to regroup after them 2 phone calls I would do the same thing myself, cause it does take a lot out of us. I just wrote up a post you might be interested in to boost your day a bit that was a good day with some good vibes to it, you have a peaceful day.
