Life has a way of throwing curve balls every now and again.  I look back at my last post (January of this year!) and I marvel at how time has sped by.  My attentions shifted in January as I chose to help care for my mother in law and my brother in law.  I only spent a day or so a week there but it was really important time for me.  It is now almost the beginning of May and I have said goodbye to both of these very important people.  My mother in law passed away March 12 and my brother in law one week later after attending her funeral.  I look back at the choices of the last year (those I wrote about in January) and am so deeply grateful for the time off to be able to be there for this woman whom I loved so very much.  She has been a home for me for 23 almost 24 years.  She provided a foundation for me that I wouldn't otherwise have had.  For that I am forever grateful!

It's easy to get caught up in what I want to do and what I think I need to do and what is really true is that it will keep.  I didn't finish that story I was telling but I'll start again now...I didn't get to start those groups that I was dreaming about but they'll come now.  And I will start those endeavors with a stronger core because I was there doing the work of my heart.  So...here I am and hopefully,  there you are and we can begin again.  Sometimes that is the way it is.
