Wow. This one is kind of hard. I've weeded a lot out over the last couple of years. My life is in no way minimalistic, but it has been scaled back to a degree that there really isn't too much left to cut out.
You know what though. As I sit here blogging away and thinking I'm watching a sappy movie on t.v. Something I decided to do after a day of missing Jim. I miss him every day, but today I'm really struggling. I think it's the time of year. I keep going back to the story no one really knows. The one story I still hold near and dear to my heart. The story that will keep us bound for an eternity.
And it's made me weepy. So you know what. The one thing I could live without right now... crying. Hard to do when I'm constantly stumbling along gems like this quote from Nicholas Spark's book, "Message in a Bottle."
"If some lives form a perfect circle, other take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. Loss has been part of my journey. But it has also shown me what is precious. So has love for which I can only be grateful."
It's hard to live with the tears. But I can't imagine living without them either. The tears only prove that I hurt and am still in pain. And the pain. The pain proves that I loved. I loved hard and strong and faithfully through the bitter end.
