Cathy thanks for sharing your Mom & daughter story. Wherever I go, this is becoming a well worn story…for me, I lost both my folks when I was young, as did my husband. So my personal life emphasis is on how to not burden our kids and grandkids as we head into our elder years ahead. And my adult daughter is a Wonder Woman Super Mom…runs in our DNA…but I don’t want her to burn out but rather to sustain her delicious life with me independent as well as when I”m not. Thx for coming by.

Ruth spot on. Working with career or business execs I”m usually on the phone early. Instead for me, taking a midday break for a walk in the hill country of NWCT…it refills my inner well. When the weather isn’t so great, then I sit in my quiet space and reconnect with my Self and all that is. Thanks so much for coming by, do come again please.

I read a quote recently on FB from Eckart Tolle saying the universe provides whatever we need to learn. hmmm. Shortly after my husband and I moved to Prescott, AZ from So. Cal, we knew this was a good location for my mother, with dementia who had retired with my dad to central Texas. It wasn’t easy to convince her, and it hasn’t been an easy transition, but it was the best decision I ever made. I truly believe she and I are supposed to go through this journey together. And part of the journey is for me to learn how to be there and support her, but also live my own life and not get swallowed up by the situation. Some days are better than others. I watch many other baby boomers walking these steps. It is a journey we will all learn to travel.

Take time regularly each day and at the same time too. I have found first thing in the morning works well, because your body remembers and longs for that wake up sustenance that you give yourself by feeling and breathing in gratitude and laughter and lightness. You can then face anything in the day, or night.
