Very Grateful for
God, who works through my weakness
the ingenuity of the Rose Parade
fuzzy slippers
how the trash is picked up on time and taken “away”
putting my old stuff in a mental trashcan and sending it “away”
giving the caregiver a break and getting time to talk with Dad alone
lit candles, even in the morning
encouragement from Carol, Jean, and Garrett (why is it that i need so much right now?)
Amelia’s caregiving of me
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. ~W. Somerset Maugham
Wonderful list, Helen. Letting ourselves be taken care of is OK, we can give and receive, just as you are there with your father , so you allow Amelia and your friends to hold you up in a reciprocal giving and receiving. Both may benefit and receive from giving and give from receiving.
Love that quote!!!
thank you, Garrett, for reaching out and assuring my tentative Receiver that it is ok to Allow enough vulnerability to receive…appreciate so much that you and Cassie have advocates and support too. (from your list today).
have a blessed Tuesday!
thank you, Belle! noticing/honoring the changes in others is a priviledge (i think i spelled that word wrong)
