All day today I've tried not to remember but to look forward, well it didn't work. I went for a long walk this morning and my mind kept wandering back to happier days in my life. I know Memorial Day is meant to honor our nation's war heroes but it is hard not to personalize it a bit. I thought about my dad and how my life might have been different had he lived longer. I also reminiscenced about lost love. It might have made me sad for a moment but it ended up making me feel good. Sometimes you do have to look backwards in order to move forward.
To all you scrapbookers out there I can only say 'YOU ARE CRAZY!' I was charged with making a scrapbook out of about 40 photos of our library director who will retire tomorrow. I spent over $100 on supplies and it took me more than 9 hours to put it all together. That's just nuts!!!! But I must say, it did turn out pretty good, but then I'm clearly no expert. The satisfaction of finishing it is still with me and it I can't wait to see what my colleagues think of it tomorrow.

Good to see you blogging again, girl. I'm sure the scrapbook is amazing. Everything you do is. Remembering your dad touched me. I'm sorry he was not able to see all you have accomplished since his death. He would love being near you now. And wherever he is, somewhere happy and beautiful I'm sure, he knows. And he is glad and proud. See you at the reception.
