Mom's Broken Way....

Cut & paste to the FB drainhole. 
So, I've been praying about whether or not to begin writing again.   I'd appreciate your opinion.  Is it too much self-focus? or should I try again? 
 
I have two pages still up:

May 2017 was month of reflection and joyfully seeing the NW spring break into summer.
FyhriGarden had lovely weather for beginning of 🔥 fire ring. Don't think they sunburned themselves much.

The quote below from Broken Way author, speaks to me as a caregiver. I wasn't a calm or patient Mom., I feel somewhat a failure for being unable to improve much while caring for hubby.



"You wanted to be more patient — you wanted to never lose it, to always have it together, to keep calm and that is all, always, — and yeah, take their tantrums with a grain of salt instead of throwing one of yours that turned out to be a first class tsunami and a tad bit more dramatic than theirs....... "  Ann Voscamp.


New Chapters since then... widowhood, financial asset and estate manager, Covid lockdown survivor, spiritual depths of pain and sorrow confronted... (So much, but so little I can do or say about this, no words left)

Prayers and Peace to you. Thanks for reading.

All Saints day. FIRST DAY OF NANOWRIMO National Novel Writing Month Begins... Please support all the would be, aspirational, delusional, methodical, random, enthusiastic novelists and archivists who attempt to (and sometimes succeed) in documenting 50,000 words (or more!) in November.  THANK YOU to 31 Days!   I had a struggle to write daily, my not planning anything particular was a definite issue. I have much to learn about how a Blog works, how to make it work well, and how to ... probably things I do not know I need to know yet.

St. Bruno-------October 6

6th of October I enjoyed learning about Blessed Raymond yesterday. Thought I would tell story about Saint Bruno today then and see if he is as interesting to know. I am not thinking of much to tell about me. and feel like just zoning out on an Inspector Morse episode. AM Monday waking up with radio as usual. Readings and christian commentary on the news. Now though, looking carefully at my to-do list and hoping to move forward on it. A lovely pile of reminder papers on my desk. **Story**** I should be doing other things, so, I will give you the story of St. Bruno of Cologne as I figured it out. He was another administrator, behind the scenes person, and prefered a solitary contemplative life. Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030 – 6 October 1101), the founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the order's first two communities. Because of the "customs" involved within  Carthusian practice , Bruno was never officially canonised. Bruno is the patron of Calabria an

Hurting Feet and 32 years of Blessings

FYI: Just a couple days a week posts will be a more doable goal I think. Sunday or Monday & 'mid-week,' Nevertheless,  here is a composite post. re: Tiredness & some more about my history. So, I DO KNOW when to quit working. I decide, remind myself to care for my health, then 10 minutes (OK 30) later, I'm still standing here on hurting feet, squinting now (took glasses off when I told myself to stop earlier). Y, I walked away & took a break, lay down for a 15 minute rest that turned into an hour and a half nap. Tom does Not approve of Camera.  I feel so much better after a rest, yet I am still upset somehow that I need it. (It is Extra isn't it? to Nap is to be weak maybe?)  It's been, .. UM let's see, 1985, that would be.... 32!  32 years I've been 'only' tired.  Before they removed the tumour, I got to be tired with nausea and dizzy spells and seizures and mood swings. (OK so maybe the mood swings didn't entirely go away,
