Hello One and All-
Debby’s comments struck a nerve because my folks are struggling to manage their home and get to appt.s but I don’t help much. Sometimes I’m sure that Joyce Neveldine knows their ups and downs better than I do because Joyce does my mother’s hair each week. It is tough to be a long-distance oldest child of parents who are very resistant to change, even when it seems to be a big improvement. We are expecting another granddaughter in late July in Sacramento , so we are planning to spend a month there enjoying the zoo and other thrills for 3 yr. olds, as well as helping out with a newborn. I have 2 more years before retirement from teaching, so summers mean a lot! We all need to find ways to manage and renew ourselves.
Here’s to accepting the fact that we can’t do it all…and for our own sakes, we shouldn’t even try!
