I like the idea of trip planning. I could use a little vacation, though it is not very likely it will happen at this point in time. I may have to try that!! :)Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-10371486287827492962012-06-26T08:02:56.222-06:002012-06-26T08:02:56.222-06:00Sorry about the loss of your father and your frien...Sorry about the loss of your father and your friends' experiencing the same thing. My first Fathers' Day after my dad died, I tried to ignore the whole thing. Then, a few days later, Jack Buck died -- after being kind of a father-figure to the whole city of St. Louis for decades. So, the wounds all opened up, anyway.<br /><br />I'm a big believer in distraction during grieving. Reading and writing are both good. Also movies in the theater and planning trips (whether or not I actually end up taking them).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.joyweesemoll.com/" rel="nofollow">Joy's Book Blog</a>Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414405931825593371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-80441034526642505902012-06-24T15:12:52.177-06:002012-06-24T15:12:52.177-06:00365andMe ...

I love how you put that because that is exactly the reason why I turn to reading and writing, and often something familiar with the former. <br /><br />And, you humble me with your comments. I am just doing the best I can with what life throws at me ... as we all do.Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-6058253056973588212012-06-19T09:25:50.151-06:002012-06-19T09:25:50.151-06:00I think I'd be in bed and might stay there for...I think I'd be in bed and might stay there for a month. And then I'd get busy. :) I'd probably throw a fit or two or five somewhere in there also. Curve balls and I don't get along very well.<br /><br />Books help me forget for short periods as does writing. If I'm focused on that, it's hard to focus on what hurts.
