Today is the last day of January 2016. I have to say, this has been a bit of a rough year starting out. We've lost an alarming number of talented individuals: David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Glenn Frey, to name a few. I was shocked and saddened to hear of their passing. I adored David Bowie. I loved Alan Rickman in so many of his roles, from Colonel Brandon in Sense & Sensibility to, of course, Snape in the Harry Potter series. And Glenn Frey was amazing in his solo career as well as with the Eagles. They will be greatly missed.
I don't think that death is something to dwell on overmuch. I suppose it is the finality of it all that frightens me sometimes. I feel like there's so much left to do, and I certainly hope there's time to experience it all ... I feel like I'm just getting started, for the most part.
A very precious person to me left this life a couple years ago, as those close to me know. I still mourn his passing, and I miss him very much. I dreamed about him the other night. He was laughing and smiling, and it was like getting back time I didn't get to spend with him. It was bittersweet, but it was certainly wonderful to see him smile.
So we bid another quickly gone month adieu. I look forward to spring so much! It may be premature, but I look forward to warmer weather once again.
Until next time!
