Yikes. I have already had a couple of "starts" (startles) this a.m. and it is 5:38 a.m. Off to work #2 all day. Then church, then see parents, then long walk. That is my goal.
Yesterday - work #1,3,2, parents, take niece to New Haven to get the train to NYC, back to see that mother had gotten settled in at the spa, home, short walk back to work #1, then home again. Finished latest Cather. Very enjoyable - Obscure Identities.
Yesterday put niece on the train and in the good news category, she was past the scene where trains crashed later in the day! Mother and Father were both crying when she left. It is sad to see how lonely and scared life can be when you get to your 90's. Both parents are fighting it out until the end, but it will come.
I am sad about that - not because of the end (it has to come) but because of what the ripple effect will be when parents pass. I know it is incredible that we have not experienced it yet - kids from 51 to 61 and both parents alive and kicking - not the norm. But nothing normal about our group.
I am a bit sad about work #1. It always gets wacky when I leave work settings, but the possible replacement person is causing me some angst. I am trying desperately to keep my thoughts to myself, but it could get a bit tense between now and June 30. I know that I need to let go and let god on this one but I will have an exit interview with my boss and my replacement. He/She (the replacement) needs to know what I leaving behind. Then he/she can do what he/she will from there. VERY good to get my cosmic guidance today. Will think that approach over...stay calm and adjust. Not a bad rule for everyday.
Life has the potential to be so different after June 30. All good but it will be interesting. Work #1 has consumed so much of me over the last 3 years. I have a tendency to do that...the "consumption" issue. Oh well.
Better get going. Have a great Saturday. Keep a good thought that I get my long walk in. I need it!
