It's Squidoo News to Me: PotPieGirl's Top 100 List and Some Personal Stuff

I was just reading through posts on blogs I follow and have linked to my blogs. To my surprise, I have news. My Squidoo blog, the one you're reading now, has been named in PotPieGirl's top 100 Squidoo blogs! See Post. I'm honored and shocked.

I've been playing a lot of catch up lately. I know it seems I'm always saying that, but life never stops around this house. I posted on Inspired Day by Day that my Father-in-Law passed on Christmas Eve in "Dear Dad...". His passing has really taken a toll on our family and especially Mom.

Christmas just was not all that happy go lucky as it has been in past years. The whole week between Christmas and New Years was filled with getting things together for Dad's funeral, which happened to fall on New Year's Eve.

We had family in from all over the states. It was really nice for my husband to see some of his cousins, his sister, and an aunt he hadn't seen in years. After the funeral we had a reception at our home.

All in all, I've decided to turn these experiences into a Squidoo lens or ten. I was thinking about several different topics: funeral planning, dealing with grief, loss of spouse, loss of parent/grandparent and so on. I know there is a lot of this information on the Internet and on Squidoo, but I want to put my experiences/thoughts out there.

So I've added a few things to my New Year's plate. I mentioned in my last post I wanted to work on my WIP lenses. I did two of those last week and finally got them published. I still have one to go. I think I'm going to put off the Tamale lens for a bit so I can focus on my new lens ideas.

I must remember is everything is not written in granite, change can be a good thing. Life is short, too short. I intend to do everything I can to better myself, fuflill my dreams, and keep my family together.
