I apologize for my long absence. I have been on travel and working long hours. I have a break in schedule and thought I'd sit down and write a few words about how things are going.
How are things going? Well for the most part they are going good. I still have moments where I get caught up in thinking about Carol and how much I miss her. I can see how easy it could be for people to be trapped in grief for long periods of time. I try to take my mind off "that" part of thinking about Carol and think about something else. I feel guilty when I do though. I think it's better to live with a moment of guilt than long periods of grief and depression.
I have started to get into golf. I started playing with a friend at work and we both have become obsessed with it. I went out and got a whole Callaway setup. I got a push cart and bag. I got the new 2008 FT-i driver and X-20 Irons with graphite shafts. After all is said and done, I still suck at golf! LOL! But I really really like it. I just hope I get better at. I took a lesson and after I did I've been having a hard time relaxing with my swing.
My roommate will finish school and be moving out on the 15th. While I'm on travel I will arrange to have a pet sitter come by three times a week. I'll also ask friends if they wouldn't mind coming over a few times a week to hang out with the cats and watch TV or hang out on the computer. That doesn't sound like a burden does it? I hope not. I don't want to have to try and find a home for the cats.
I'll try and write more to keep everyone up on what's going on. So far so good.

Hi Kelly,
Happy Belated New Years!
I'm glad you started your new job, and would love to come feed Kitty, or just sit in your home again. I'm home all week long from 8Am until 2:30pm.........Give me a call if you'd like me to come help. I'd be honored. Cheryl
Hi Kelly,
Sounds like you're getting to the traveling part of the new job. I hope you're enjoying it.
Ah, the game of frustration...er, I mean golf, have fun with it. It's a new challange every time you play it. The Upland Recreation Dept. offers lessons, if you're interested. Don took them there.
Sounds to me like you're doing well with your feelings about Carol. You have the right attitude and perspective. After all, you have to continue to live your life for all the many, many years to come, and a good life I'm sure it will be. It'll just be awhile yet to see that start to happen.
