Memories both light and dark

So Facebook has this thing called “On this Day” where you can see what you posted on the same date in previous years. Today I saw two powerful memories, one bittersweet and one just plain heartbreaking.

Today is the five-year anniversary of the day I left HealthSouth. I worked there for nine years, and they were good to me. I learned a tremendous amount there and made great friends (and I still miss you guys).

Today is also, sadly, the one-year anniversary of the death of our cat, Luna, who my husband had long before he met me. Though we now have Rory, I still feel sad at times knowing that Luna is gone.

It just goes to show that you never know what new beginning will come from any ending. Yes, my job and life in Huntsville ended, but my life in Sierra Vista began. Luna may be gone, but Rory is a little fluffball of love and energy.

One door closes & another opens, or some such cliché.
