as we traveled toward Ana Capa Island the dolphins came by us for a look and to play under the bow of our happy sail boat.

pain

I am having a delayed reaction to a loss about two weeks ago, combined with the every day losses of watching my mom decline and get ready to die. Some times are very sweet. Other times I function only out of duty. Many hours of the day are spent waiting for something we don't really want. Much of this work is trying NOT to think too much, and just GO with what needs to be done at the moment.

peace

Shalom
my favorite Hebrew or Jewish word.

I have peace, mostly
but some nights I can not sleep well
others I get interrupted by elder care duties.
but I am well, and busy
and full of happiness at all that God has allowed.
