Good morning FS friends

Had a revelation yesterday. My friend had yet more free concert tickets, so last night we went to see Dirty Heads, a rock/reggae/rap band from SoCal. Had never heard of them as I'm more of a classic rock kind of girl. What I learned - 1) laughter still is possible. There was a gentleman around our age sitting next to us. When it came time to call for an encore he started making these bullmoose noises. Loud, very bullmoosey and had my friend and I in a fit of laughter 2) music still energises and uplifts - being surrounded by a demographic of people who were mostly 20-30 years younger who were totally into the band, up on their feet singing and dancing was positively energising. 3) it has been far too long since I've been to Jamaica and need to return to Negril for a vacay down the road. Not possible at the moment as I have 4 high needs senior furbabies, but will in the years to come.

The day ended well despite the sorrow I felt throughout the day. On my birthday, John had given me a lovely birthday card that he'd written his feelings into and some inside jokes. This type of thing was a rare occurance thus so very meaningful. Since his passing, Haven't been able to find it anywhere and have been obsessing. Everyday, I'd been looking high and low for it. It's not as if it would change a thing if I did find it, but such is the mental game that happens with loss. Odds are with the chaos of the week following the event, I either accidentally threw it out, or sent it off with the bins and bags of stuff that his sons removed. I have reconciled that the card, like John is likely gone forever and so be it. Won't change a darn thing. Maybe it will appear someday, maybe not, but the obsessing has to stop.

Heading out to weedwhack. Crabgrass growing between my patio stones and needs dealing with.

Over and out

I'm so glad you have a good friend to do things with. It sounded fun. I sure wish you had been able to find that card.

oh Ann, how wonderful that you found your laugh again and were able to to just enjoy life at that moment! I can relate to your birthday card obsession, as it holds John's emotions, which he rarely shared. The words he wrote will always be a precious memory for you ♡
