I don't have a creative post just yet, but I do have some ideas in mind. Right now so many spiritual thoughts are going around and around in my head. A great weight has been lifted from my shoulders when my Mother entered the rehabilitation facility. She is definitely improving, but one reaches a point in life where there is no going back. She will never be the same as she was years ago, or even one year ago. I truly believe that I have been given a chance for ease and grace into a new chapter of my life. With the help of supportive friends and family, I am able to reach this changing point. If this post sounds sad, it was not meant to be that way at all. I am realizing how important each day should be, and I am so grateful for the God given gift of creativity and the chance to share that creativity.
hi nancy! i'm so glad to read that your mom is getting better! it is so very sad to realize that our parent(s) are getting older (and that we are, too!) and that things change in ways that we could never have thought. But when you have a hope to cling to that is the best hope there is... well it just makes it that much easier to bear, i think! hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you, Nancy. I've been wondering how you're doing. It's nice to know that your mom is improving with the help of the rehabilitation facility. I know how difficult it can be watching a parent age. All you can do is be there for them, love them and remember they love you. And don't forget, no one can take away all the wonderful memories you have of your mom. It sounds as if you're at peace with this new chapter of your life. And you're so right. . .the creativity of cardmaking can be so comforting and helpful. Take care, Nancy. Sending you a big hug!
ReplyDeleteI feel what you are saying and I understand it. You are a great person, Nancy. I am sending you a big and warm hug.
ReplyDeleteSo well said, Nancy! And I'm so glad to hear that your Mom is stable and improving. Sometimes it takes a big shock to get our attention, and make us realize that nothing is for sure.
ReplyDeletesending continued prayers and strength for your Mom.
ReplyDeletehow easily we take forgranted the little things....thanks for reminding me each day is a blessing and a treasure.
