Its been a few years, but the Halloween stuff finally came out again! Eliora and I did some Halloween decorating tonight!! Yay, such fun- Eli made a stuffed man sitting on the bench on the porch and we hung some spooky stuff around and started the little graveyard. I have so many boxes to go through; there's still plenty to do. Sticky, bloody hand-prints and hanging ghosts shall be done soon. Then there's the lights, black tree and haunted house somewhere still to be found, not to mention all the spider webs to spread. I'm gonna do it up big like we have in the past. Halloween was always the favorite holiday in our house. I'm a little sorry Kenny isn't here to be a part of this- I can picture him shaking his fist, laughing and screaming "this is the year you decorate again!" Although I am sure he can enjoy it from above.

I am feeling much better~ stronger by the day. Hope has been found where there hasn't been any for many, many months. I feel greatly blessed to know Kenny left this Earth feeling how much I love him. Knowing that has brought me the sense of personal peace I have been needing, it brings a feeling of lightness to my heart and a sparks a light in my soul. Now I can concentrate on replacing the painful memory of his passing with all the wonderful, happy memories we shared during his lifetime. I won't say I am fully healed, I cried in the car quite a bit today and I still told Kenny I miss him when I looked at his picture and lit his candle. There are plans I must complete before my healing can be whole. Intentions which are highly important to me such as writing thank you cards, making his quilt, and putting beads, crystals and an inscription on the railroad nail I took from the tracks where Kenny died.
That's what I haven't started; although I took some steps in other personal ways of honoring Kenny today.
I would like to start collecting stories about Kenny from people. So if you are a reader and you knew Kenny I would very much like to have any stories you are willing to share- a funny memory; the story of how you met; maybe you have something special you can tell that not everyone knows or anything else that comes to your mind. I will make a small book with all the stories I can collect and of course, add some of my own. Anyone who would like can send them to my email: nettes.tears@gmail.com
I truly appreciate any stories...
Until tomorrow
Element of the day (day 65)
#81) Tl- Thallium-]metal
Discovered in 1861by William Crookes, England.
Soft enough to cut with a knife. Used in photocells, infrared detectors and glass that melts at low temperatures. Has been used as an insecticide and rodent poison and in treating skin infections, but these used discontinued, due to thallium's high toxicity.
Fairly rare. Chiefly obtained as a by-product of zinc processing. Minerals include crooksite, lorandite and thalcusite. The manganese nodules on the ocean floor contain some thallium.
