It has been brought to my attention that I need to write more. I apparently stated in my last post 6+ months ago that I was going to write more. Well that did not happen. My mother’s decline due to dementia had caused me to go into survival mode and therefore I have had limited energy for anything that was mine. That is changing now that she has been placed in memorycare.
That decision was a long and heartfelt choice, but in the end was the best possible choice for her and for me. It’s only been a few days but already I can feel the thaw in my emotional and mental state. That is not to say that everything I have felt is good but it has been necessary. I have to find a way to live again and not just survive.
So here’s to trying. Scratch that… Yoda said “Do or do not, there is no try”. So here’s to doing life for myself again.
