This is the first anniversary of my mother's death. I miss her.
The fairy tale phrase "a year and a day" comes from the Celt's habit of measuring the calender by the moon and then squaring it with the solar calender. 13 moon cycles *28 days long=364 days+ one day for the Sun God=365 Every four years throw in an extra day to account for the extra 1/4 day. Damn fine astronomers.
But since last year was leap year by our common calender, it really is a year and a day.
Whatever way you count it, I miss her.

Thinking of you today, and always.
(snif) Thank you.
Love you.
I do have to figure out when I can visit you lot again. I miss seasons.
If I send you a free copy of my Lyme disease book, http://www.defeatlyme.com , will you review it on your blog and post a link in a blog post to the website?
Thanks
