My sister died on August 1st, 2025 - a couple of days before her double double chai birthday (72). I traveled the next day to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the funeral which was on Aug. 4th, a Monday (the day after Tishah B'Av). I stayed with Cindy and her husband Arnold and daughter Havi... and they were wonderful and supportive and warm and loving and FAMILY!.... Amy came down from NYC for the funeral and so I was not alone and that was good.... THANKS!!!!
So now -- it is just me, so to speak, and the future! What will I do? Who will I be? When? I need to think about some of this... and figure stuff out. MAYBE - take on a task Debra didn't complete and work on that???? Blindness? Cancer? Education? Travel? Those are some things to consider.
For me ... WRITING always comes to mind. I don't think I am a good writer but I have written lots of little things and maybe editing them and organizing them and adding to them is THE THING!! As well as returning to this years "resolutions" to blog each day (journal) and play piano each day (all except Shabbat). Continuing working out and singing and services and rotary service... all will continue as they are important and good parts of my life. I DO have time for more and getting out of the house and doing some things .. is THE THING... Out Now!
I'm going to stop now ... it is about 5:15pm on Friday ... I have resumed working out so I need a shower. I have resumed this blogging... and I will get to the piano soon!
One more thought at this moment... SOCIALIZE MORE... I need to socialize more with more people more often. I like it... It is good and healthy to do... and I don't have to be heard as much as I need to listen. I've talked a lot about listening... and I need to hear myself about listening a bit better.
And also - maybe I need to write notes to a couple of people to get some stuff off my chest... or not... I'm thinking.... and hemming and hawing. One to Steve (really not very important) and the other to CBH - a bit more important... BUT both without expectations!
