News from simply beautiful

Hi Readers!
It's been a minute since I've posted. Your girl has been quite busy lately.

I've been assigned a position as a board member of a non-profit group.

I cut my hair.

I've traveled to NEW YORK!

and I'm now EMPLOYED!!!!
So, after 13months of 'not qualified' and 'over-qualified' and simply 'no', my unemployment checks stopping about 3 weeks ago ( way to go Congress!) and some real time getting to know myself and my God--I've got a new gig. Actually, a couple of new gigs. More about that later.

I have not forgotten about the topics some of my readers requested. I'm getting to those--hopefully in just a few days. But in between time, I've got a question. Or really maybe just a comment. A friend of mine lost her husband about 2 weeks ago. I was not able to make the service because of work and family commitments--but another friend who did make it sent me an email. She and some friends took pictures outside of the funeral-- I mean smiling, cheezing, posing,,,the whole nine. None of the body, mind you. But the 'grieving widow' was outside of the church posing and smiling for pictures. Really???? I thought it was kind of tasteless. Am I missing something?.... Am I out of touch? Just too old-fashioned? I mean what is the decorum here? I know she doesn't need to stay in a funk forever--but my goodness, you're in the process of burying your spouse...a little solemness is in order. Just a thought.

Okay. I'm gonna close it down. Got to get some sleep so I can be ready for work in the morning.
WoW. It feels good to be able to type that.

Keep it real. Hugs and kisses.
