And We Are Back!

Last summer began an adventure that I had no idea was coming.  It is always curious the timing of events in your life.  I was getting into a good rhythm in the shop, had strong momentum going with sales and I was looking forward to a good strong year.  
​Enter life.

I spent 8 months caring for terminally ill and aging in-laws.  A few critical events made it impossible for them to care for themselves any longer and they needed help, right away.  In the process of finding care, nursing, doctors and getting through the Medicaid process I found a treasure.  I was very fortunate to be able to spend the last months with an interesting character, although he would have told you that I was the interesting one!  I heard stories, looked at photographs, learned about the treasures stored in the home and shared a glass of wine.  

I also heard the pain and fear of someone who is dying and not quite ready to leave this world.  I also learned what dementia looks like and how heartbreaking this disease is for the family and for the person who is slowly losing touch with reality.  It is sad to watch a person lose their independence and their ability to care for themselves.  

These events taught me a very important lesson.  A lesson that we hear often but you will never pay attention to until you watch someone's breath leave them.

We may not have tomorrow and if we do, we may not be able to function in it.

Do not let this day pass without RUNNING headlong towards your dreams.  Look fear right in the eyes and move anyway....go forward anyway.  Don't waste precious time doing what you think others approve of, do exactly what you are meant to do.  BELIEVE that you will not be successful, truly successful until you are doing what you love.  LOVE and LOVE again.  Reach out a hand to someone in need.  DANCE and SING with everything you have in your soul.  CREATE something lasting, something unique, something mind blowing....you have it in you!  
You may not get another chance!
