February 15th is the seventh month anniversary of the death of my mother, and coincidentally, Family Day, which prompts me to write here today.
It is also the day Canadians celebrate after Bilodeau received our first gold medal in the Olympic games in Vancouver last night, and the first gold on Canadian soil. A very proud feeling indeed for our Canadian family!
This year Family Day falls on the day after Valentine's Day (V-Day), which was a wonderful day of camaraderie for me as well.
Naturally bundled for the cold, hiking a good distance with fast-paced walking in ravines and parks interspersed with city sidewalks, met my need for outdoor activity and socialization yesterday.
After a rather melancholy week with memories of Mom leading up to V-Day, it felt good to celebrate my femaleness with other women and men on the trail.
Sharing my dark chocolate Hershey kisses with them all was a sweet treat!

Ride the waves of grief with me
I invite you to ride along on my journey. Beginning with my first post, August 15, 2009, I hope you will ride the waves with me, as I grieve and heal. Perhaps you will relate and gain from my experience.
Ride the waves of grief with me
About Me
- Judy Price
- As you have already gathered, my name is Judy, and even though my last name is Price, as a divorced woman, I am 'Price-less'. . . There have been several losses in my life of various kinds, some through death, and others not. The grief for all is similar. Humour is the remedy and balance. My poetry is based on personal emotion and experience. I have found the lyrical rhythm of concise word use to be a brief and cathartic release. Due to 'intellectual property rights' concerns, I am not publishing my poetry here. This blog is a forum for me to express myself and to share my writing on-line. My hope is that it will entertain and resonate with others who can relate to my own personal journey.
