Magical Thinking and Hope

My husband and his brother Jere

Today was kind of a mish-mash of things and doings. We are in Florida visiting my husband Leo's brother  who is now in hospice. While I like Jere, I have to admit it is hard to see him looking so frail and seeing how this hurts my husband. We have been told several times that "this will probably be the last time you see him" but he keeps defying the odds, beating both Alzheimer's and cancer at the same time. It is pretty amazing in many ways yet still sad in others.

Happy New Year

New year, new beginnings. Seems this time of year brings people a sense of urgency in some of life's matters and they want to change things for the better in one way or another.  Whether it means losing weight, letting go of a bad habit, reorganizing their homes or work spaces or even doing more of what they love it all stems from the very same place. It seems so many people are dissatisfied with the lives they are living. They seek change and this time of year gives them hope for a new and better way of that life. 

Life Happens

 So here I am again, after too long a period of time! I was doing OK for a minute or two and then "life" happened. It is said that, "Life happens when you are making other plans" 
and that seems to be the case for me! Does it happen to you too? I know it does!
