My last post was from the Helping Parents Heal conference that was held in August. So much has happened since then. So few pictures. I've always tried to focus on the good here on this little spot on the vast net. I am trying to find something good to appreciate every day. Lord, lead the way.
Such a sweet wedding!
Our country elected a new president. I feel like I'm a stranger in a strange land.
I have the honor of being able to work for a hospice company. I love making visits to patients and their families. I love Nicole, my fellow social worker who is an angel in my life. Most of the time I love the trips down Route 4 to Carlinville, seeing the farm fields, the tractors, the traffic, the big blue sky, the hawk sightings. Stopping at the little coffee shop for a latte, listening to podcasts about the angels and the afterlife, and oh yes, also about ways to try to understand the politics we're living under.

For the past couple of months, I've been praying for Isaac every moment. Trying not to judge myself the lousiest mom on the whole planet. Trying to find some compassion for myself. Trying to exercise, at least a little bit every week. I know it helps me feel better in the moment. I know it will help me age better. Thank goodness for Misty, my trainer and for Carrie, the pilates instructor. For Mark, who walks the dogs faithfully every day and who inspires me to walk with him every so often.
