Here are some recent pics....








The last four were taken on Sunday after we visited my father. It's a place called Bedford Metro park System where I grew up. I used to "hang out" there a lot when I was a kid and it's a beautiful place to be. And I think someplace we all needed to be after the visit. My father is not well. He has a "follow-up" doctors appointment tomorrow and maybe we'll know a bit more. It was heart wrenching watching and hearing him tell my husband of his stay at the hospital. He cried.

I am going to get some fresh picked apples and make him an apple strudel.
i am a big mess but I'll pull thru-

Love-

Cheryl, the pics are lovely, and so are you. You look truly beautiful, and in a gorgeous place as well. I wish the images reflected how you feel and it saddens me to know that you feel so messed up. If you say you are going to pull through, you surely will, and remember, take a small step forward every day.

I'm trying to think of how I pulled myself out of the pit, and now I realise it was through my writing. I discovered a release in writing that made me feel good..lol..I was very prolofic at that time. I wrote radio plays, short stories, articles, everything. Maybe you have something you can focus on that is an expression of yourself? Art, photography, writing poetry, telling stories, making up rhymes? It's a great outlet, and I found I eventually enjoyed doing it so much, it gave me an emotional independence I didn't have before.

Those are beautiful photos, Cheryl Ann. Bedford Park is indeed a beautiful place. I see your trees are a bit behind ours as far as turning. Most of the leaves are gone from ours now.
I do miss the maple tree colours, as there are mostly yellows and oranges of the poplars and larch in this part of the country. It's still a beautiful time of year no matter what the colours!

I hope your Dad is resting well and is on the mend. It can be heartwrenching to see someone you love infirm in a hospital bed.

Love and thoughts are sent both your ways.

Love
Dale

Cheryl, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad (was reading below too). I surely hope he's on the mend and quickly. It wrenched my heart to think of him at the hospital with no visitors for 3 days.
