Turning away

I am one of the ages. I am one who is turning away from the old ways. I am one who is looking in a new direction.

After spending a week of sorting through the pieces of my father's life by clearing out his house, I realized that most of what is in my house is useless and unimportant to anyone but me. I really don't want my kids to have to do what I just did.

I really need to simplify my life by divesting myself of useless items. Move on to simplicity and focus on what is important. Family, health and well being.

Life Mate


I am one who is mated for life. I am one who is one half of a whole heart. I am one who is supported by my mate.

Quite honestly, the last couple of months would have been unbearable without my husband. He has been there for whatever I have needed. Support, space, a shoulder to cry on. Can't imagine my life without him!

Step out of the darkness


I am one who is bursting forth with light. I am one who is stepping out of the darkness. I am one who is aware that this path could take me anywhere, even back into the dark.

My father passed away a month ago and I just got home after clearing out his home of his worldly possessions. I do feel like I am literally stepping into the light after months of the end of life process. Not sure where all this will lead me, but I am ready to move towards the light.

Road to Freedom


I am one who is one a perilous road to freedom. I am one who is aware that every step I take is important. I am one who even though my burden is heavy and awkward, knows that it is mine to carry and will do my best to continue on the journey set before me.

Today I will have a vp shunt installed inside my head. It has been a long journey to this juncture, but I am certain I am on the right path. It could be quite a journey to recovery, but it could also be the path to freedom. Freedom from headache, tinnitus, vision problems and cognitive issues. They don't call my condition pseudo tumor for nothing!

Nature


I am one who holds nature in her hand. I am one with the ability to view her her space objectively. I am one who looks to the natural world for peace.

I am waiting for the oak pollen to subside so I can spend some time in nature. Right now if I go out I can't catch my breath. I was accidentally poisoned by Easter Lilies and haven't been the same since. The weather is beautiful and I can't wait to spend some time outdoors.

Myopic


I am one who is focused on what is in front of me. I am one who is moving slowly towards the transformation of my life. I am one who sometimes has trouble focusing on the big picture.

Right now my life seems very myopic. One foot in front of the other, focusing on the goal. Not a lot of time to spare for the fun things.

Protected


I am one who is caught in a cage. I am one who is still able to sing. I am one who is protected and cared for. I am one who is breaking out of her shell.

I woke up in tears this morning. I hope that is not a precursor to bad news. I will pray for the family members in my dreams and hope that all is well.

The good news is I have a wonderful husband who understands that what I am going through will take a lot of my time and energy. He supports me by being there to cry on, does my chores when I am too exhausted and is the greatest emotional support. I know this life would be much harder without him
