Let the Countdown Continue

Two weeks. I made it to two weeks. Two long, hard weeks. I must admit though, that it's getting easier. I haven't cried in a while and I haven't felt like I was dying in a bit. I have decided to try to make it to the end of the year without any contact. I would like to start my new year fresh and without too much baggage.

Well, I may have to make an exception next weekend. I will worry about that when the time comes. The Holidays are going to be trying and I will have to remain focused. I'm going to miss my home girl's pineapple ham on Thanksgiving. That too shall pass. Everyday is an opportunity for new beginnings and new memories.

Now that we're on the topic of new beginnings; it is time for a new tattoo. I like to mark passages of time with a tattoo. Truth be told, I only have one tattoo that serves as a reminder of what was and what can be.  This has been a pretty important shift in my life and I need to mark it. It's not everyday that you have to begin your life anew. Most people will most likely find my next tattoo silly, but I do not care. I am getting a pumpkin somewhere near my foot. It is a pumpkin for Pumpkin. Since I cannot visit her grave, I will carry her with me always.
