Today's Journal 

3:30 pm - 5:00 pm: meeting with financial planner at RBC.

I received a small life insurance policy and my advisor helped me figure out how to stretch it to last as long as I do. That will depend on how long my cancer stays at bay. I will no longer get Dennis's OAS and only 60% of his CPP. We needed every penny of those government pensions just to get by. I will have to tighten the budget quite a bit further. I hate to talk about money while I'm still grieving the loss of the love of my life but I have to be practical as well. Damn, I wish I wasn't in such physical pain while I'm dealing with all of this.


Today's Daily Affirmations
* I am in awe of nature’s beauty.
* I invite healing and transformation into my life.
* I am getting back on my feet again.

Dennis passed away 3 weeks ago today. :( 

I'm still in a lot of pain with sciatica, piriformis syndrome, plantar fasciitis, numbness and tinging. I'm not sleeping well and when I'm up and moving (or standing) every step hurts. I have been using a cane for the last three weeks. 

10:35 am - Service Ontario appointment @ Scott & Vine. 
(The third time was a charm!)

* I embrace every opportunity to practice mindfulness.
* I have the strength to work through my grief.
* I am receiving a lot of love in my life.
