I got up this morning purposely to watch the sun rise over St. Augustine beach this morning... I wish I had my camera connection with me to share the pix, but suffice it to say it was very pretty. Not the prettiest I've ever seen... kind of hazy, and gray (a bit like how I was feeling at 5:45AM) but then, out of no where, WHAM! A bright red ball rising up... Very nice. I brought down 2 cups of coffee to the beach, and was there for both cups... I needed that time to myself this morning. We saw some of the family last night, which was wonderful. So many little things that are reminders of Michael... I had forgotten how much he loves pelicans, and I'm hoping I see some today (they are usually all over the place here). Funeral is this morning... it will be a long, but good day. On the band front, I'm not loose, but not tight either... I've been making pretty decent choices for the most part this trip, but this morning have been able to eat 1/4 of a bagel (LOTS of chewing)... and now have hiccups, so know I'm done. I am definitely not going to push it - just need to make sure I've got lots of protein and stay on top of my hunger today so I don't fall into the emotional decision to eat.

I am so thinking of you today...stay strong and try to remember all the great things about him...I could be talking out my ass because I am not sure what makes the pain go away. (hugs) to you today
I think it was a wonderful idea to take some quiet time for yourself. No better place for that than the beach. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
You are in my thoughts today. I know it will be a tough funeral and day in general and hope that you are doing as well as possible under the circumstances.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family today. Very peaceful picture!
Sounds like a nice way to start the day.
