I love posting things about nature and animals and crafts and things that make people think and laugh. The past year has been quite an interesting journey for me. Many changes have come my way, some by choice, some by fate and some have been dropped in my path with no way around but to plow through and find a way.
By choice, I have been making some lifestyle and career changes that feed my soul, are less stressful and more aesthetically appealing to me and I will share those details as they arise. By fate, I reconnected with old friends, made some new friends and rediscovered a path I have ignored for many years. Now for the big one, the one that's been dropped, becoming caregiver for my parents.
The circle of life for me is living part time with my parents, kind of like when I was in college, yet caring for them almost like they are my children but having to wear kid gloves because it's their house, they have opinions and are a bit set in their ways, and have their own way of doing things. It is also difficult for them to admit, sometimes, how much they need the help of others.
Everyday there is something that just makes me shake my head and walk away, with the dog, into the woods to think, literally. The peacefulness of nature is just about the only thing that is keeping me sane at this point and I feel compelled to share some of my daily happenings with someone, anyone, who will listen.
