Fish Sticks

I miss my beloved. On New Year's Eve Laurence would make a fabulous steak and shrimp dinner. We would have sushi for appetizers, champagne and something scrumptious for dessert.

I thought about stopping and getting sushi this afternoon but was busy filing papers. I debated about getting take-out at Outback Steak House but didn't want to go back outside. I thought about opening the bottle of champagne in the frig but decided against it.

I had fish sticks and french fries for dinner and an apple for dessert. It's not the same being home alone on New Year's Eve.

All that being said, I am very grateful for the loving life we shared together. Grateful for Laurence's loving presence guiding me. Grateful for the many gracious and loving friends. Looking forward to a new day and a fresh start.

Wishing you abundant blessings in the new year.
