These are supposed to be the "golden" years.. yeah right. I seem to be in a box where every door or window opens to expose a friend's illness or my own. I have been diagnosed with a heart problem..okay.. I can handle that. My husband has a pacemaker so I know how he copes with that and that might be me down the road
But, gosh, it gets overwhelming at times keeping "up" for everyone that needs it around me. A friend having brain surgery today, another one battling lung cancer.
Thank God I have my art to submerge myself into and fill a few hours with bliss.
Sorry guys.. just ranting..
We all seem to have times in life like this where everything hits at once. Just remember to do what's necessary and right for your own health in addition to supporting others. As my old boss used to say, "this too shall pass."
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie. I am old enough to no that things go in cycles but this is really bad patch.
ReplyDeleteAlways need warm thoughts. Thanks for yours
It's true, Ruth..."this too shall pass." I am fighting my own demons right now (as you know) and, like you, I'm so thankful to have my art and the friendships that have come about through it. Sometimes we must "vent" and this is just your time. You'll be just fine whichever path you take...we just don't have any other choice...so, enjoy the journey.
