Mourning Glories

My mother passed away on December 10, 2009. I needed a way to help myself work through the grieving process. I knew that just writing an occasional entry in a paper journal wouldn't help me deal w/ the myriad of emotions. I've pledged to write in this blog every day for a year to chronicle what I hope will lead from the pain of mourning to the glory of remembrance.

Thursday, 16 September 2010 -- Day 270 (283)

Life is what you make it, so I'm making it happy. POOF! I'm happy.
