A merry "O Tannenbaum" from one probably housebound family to another.Took Adam to see "Mission Impossible" for Xmas eve...thank god there was only one other family at the cinema pub..he only lasted 2/3 of the movie ... should have doped the kid before. Wonder how it ended?
In this moment I accept that I have been given care of a very fragile person. I accept that I may likely never know why this task has been passed to me. In this moment, I accept that I need not know more than the fact that what I do has value.
With that, I will care for this person to the best of my abilities. I will forgive myself for the days I could do better, but don't. I will forgive myself for the days I would do better, but cannnot.
I seek to have clarity of thought that I might make choices most in balance with the many intertwining lives, including my own. I seek to be supported in whatever ways financial and emotional that will maintain this balance. I seek to learn how to draw from a well of infinite patience and energy.
I open myself up to the possibility of joy, of fulfillment, and of grace. I accept that, in this moment, it is all I can do.
I am a Canadian single mom juggling life, work and care for a child disabled from stroke. About all of life's ups and downs and some crazy/questionable/fun stuff.
