Woke up this morning in my own bed. Rough night sleeping. The night sweats are returning with a vengeance and coupled with my mind racing about all things parent, it's difficult to get back to a sound sleep. I'm working hard on not dwelling on the problem of parents while I am resting. And although they creep into my thoughts during the daytime while I'm working around the house, the thoughts are more relaxed and flowing. It is during this time that I can breathe deep and see the gift and let the rest of the noise of siblings go. This is my life for the next few whiles. We are working on getting some part time help when the need arises but Laurie and I will continue to be part time caregivers to our parents. I will not worry nor will I dwell on the reasons, excuses, the lives of my siblings, I will accept their limitations just as I try to accept mine, and go about my life.
Today I will make bread and work on my banners. All will be well.
