\"\"Last year around this time I was dealing with a lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019d come through Jerry\u2019s death, the blizzard in Feb. and my brain being locked up with too many emotions to process.<\/p>\n

Easter was always one of those holidays that Jerry worked really hard on. Not quite so much as Christmas, but it was an important day in his calendar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Easter was one of those days when he\u2019d bring home flowers to brighten the house. He raided them from the flower arrangements at the church. His logic was that they were just going to wilt and die anyway, There was no reason they shouldn\u2019t brighten up our house for a week.<\/p>\n

He also would often bring home candy or chocolate rabbits. For my part, while he was playing the Easter Services I\u2019d be here cooking, or preparing to cook a nice Sunday meal. We tried to make Sunday dinner important, Easter Sunday dinner was a little more special.<\/p>\n

Last year I hardly noticed the day passing.<\/p>\n

This year, I\u2019m generally in a much better place mentally, \u00a0but I\u2019m aware that there\u2019ll be no flowers and candy. Somehow me being in a better mental state makes the day seem a little sharp? I know I\u2019m not being “Easter minded” right now. I suspect this may be one of the last holidays to get through.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve managed to get through a whole calendar year, I forgot that there were holidays that slipped by me right after Jerry died so I didn\u2019t really stop to think about them. This year I missed Jerry making corned beef on St Patricks Day. I missed a flower, or a plant on Valentines day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll miss the flowers from the Easter Arrangements adorning the table and I don\u2019t feel much like making a big dinner. I\u2019ve got more snow shoveling to do today anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Easter is a contemplative one.<\/p>\n

Perhaps, that\u2019s the way it\u2019s supposed to be.<\/p>\n

Everyone, Have a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
