Stormy Weather
So far, dear friends, January 2008 has been wild. Storms have knocked out electricity to about 350,000 locally. Lots of trees down, fences blown away, cars smashed. I've been in Carmel Woods for 4 days with no power. After 4 days of it, the 'kids' and I decided to move L. to hospice care so she could stay warm and well cared for. It was an easy decision -- Friday night was her last lucid time. We had a great dinner with my parents, and she drank and ate and laughed and had a jolly time. Since then, she's gone pretty loopy mentally. It happened so suddenly...a bit frightening actually. I'll probably not be posting for awhile...too much going on and my mind and heart are trying to process so much information. I am working on staying in the moment, and not projecting too far out there in any direction. Going with the flow is the order of the day. Not a bad way to approach this crazy life.
Be well.

Sorry to hear about "L" and all the bad weather. Hope you can stay centered and with the flow.
Be well too friend. Our thoughts are with you and 'L'
Peace.
Take care of yourself and try to avoid letting the stress get the better of you.
Absolutely, taking it one day at a time is the very best way to handle most things, especially problems.
Oof. All good hopes and wishes for you and "L."
