Each morning, I get up, make some coffee and head to my computer to read the news. Then I wish I hadn't. It is so depressing in most ways! Sometimes I think that maybe I won't read the news anymore but I think it's important to know what is going on in the world. Most of the times with bad news, I just scroll and happen to see the headlines. I don't even read the article. I don't have to. I don't want to.
Ash Wednesday church service was good. There weren't many people there but we had a great lesson on the Sermon on the Mount, then had communion then Imposition of Ashes.
I'm going to Detroit this weekend with my daughter and her husband again to visit my nieces. My daughter doesn't mind driving so I just get to ride along which I like. I drove this trip almost every weekend for many, many years when Heather was a child and beyond and I just got tired of driving with all of the crazy people.
Tomorrow, March 8, marks 3 years since my sister Tanya died. My heart has been so empty since she's been gone, yet I know she still lives within it. On Saturday we will be having a balloon lift like we do for my mom every year for my sister. All of the kids and grand kids get together and write on balloons then gently release them to watch them fly away to heaven with their loving message written in bright marker :)

| My sister Tanya. How I miss her so! She is loved! |
We will leave Saturday morning, spend the night and come home on Sunday. Bryan will stay home with the Pampered Poodles. (Good luck with that Bryan ha! ha!)
Although I'm tired, and will probably be more tired when I return, I am looking forward to this trip to be with my family again.

Peace and blessings!
