What is Grief? Some Memorable Photos of 2024

Grief- A Lesson from the Past!

This is what grief is.

A hole ripped through the very fabric of your being.

The hole eventually heals along the jagged edges that remain. It may even shrink in size.

But that hole will always be there.

A piece of you always missing.

For where there is deep grief, there was great love.

Don’t be ashamed of your grief.

Don’t judge it.

Don’t suppress it.

Don’t rush it.

Rather, acknowledge it.

Lean into it.

Listen to it.

Feel it.

Sit with it.

Sit with the pain. And remember the love.

This is where the healing will begin.

“Grief shows up when it wants to. … No matter what you think, no matter how much time has passed, it’ll show up.” —Tyler Perry

A stunning Fire Rainbow, 2024-  Fire rainbows, are a spectacular but extremely rare sight in the sky, caused when sunlight refracts through ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds. These ice crystals need to be positioned just right to bend light, producing vivid, rainbow-like colors that arch across the sky. The term "fire rainbow" comes from the intense, flame-like colors rather than any actual fire.

For a fire rainbow to appear, the Sun must be high in the sky, at least 58 degrees above the horizon, and the light needs to strike the ice crystals at a precise angle. These conditions make fire rainbows more common in summer and at mid-latitudes. When they occur, they often spread across large sections of the sky, creating a radiant, colorful display that can look almost otherworldly.

Meanwhile, I won again in the Monday Night Football Poll and shared it with Chuck Daggett.
