NOTE:  Even though it is the 23rd...I am writing this about the 15th through the 21st

How has the past week been for you?  okay

What was the worst thing that happened?  I watched the movie "Rango"

What was the best thing that happened?   I ordered a charm with Liz's name on it from someone on Etsy with a little bit of my birthday money.  And my daughter gave me a locket on my birthday that I'm going to put a picture of Liz in soon. 

How has your physical health been?  Slightly better than it has been...but still not good. 

How has your emotional - mental health been?  Not quite as sad or depressed.  I'm excited about my new charm...and think getting and wearing it will help a lot. 

What issues related to the death of your friend or family member have you dealt with this past week, and how?  On Tuesday I went through quite a few of my Mom's pictures...we looked at them together.  It was both nice...and made me want to cry at the same time.  But between taking pictures of pictures...and uploading her digital pictures to one of my laptops...I will have some more pictures of Liz...some of which I've never seen before...and a very good number of the other members of my family.   

 Do you have any special memories or insights from the week to share?  My mother loaned me some of her pictures...and my daughter and I spent a lot of time since taking pictures of pictures on both of our cameras!
