So I started being responsible for children shortly after my fourth birthday. My youngest brother was born and my mother basically expected me to take care of my middle brother, who was not quite one at the time. I went from taking care of them to having my own children, and then before my children were grown, I was blessed with the care of my kidlette.
She is now almost 19, and she is getting married tomorrow. I am looking at the first time in 50 years of not being responsible for another human. I'm not sure what life is going to be like. I am so excited about my great grandson, and I hope to be able to be a big part of his life, but even if I take care of him while his parents are at work, it won't be the same. It has also hit me that this is the first time in 31 years I haven't had to buy school supplies.
My husband still hasn't found another job and severance pay ends today, The company that laid him off has called him back as a consultant, but not under a contract for any particular period of time. He's had about 4 interviews for 5 different positions with one more coming up next week. I know the right job is out there, we just need to find it. If anyone reading this does positive energy work, we would appreciate some to help find that right position.
I am making changes in my own spiritual life, as well. Doing what I can to move closer to my desired goals. I attended a talk from an elder in my tradition on being positive. It really struck a note with me, and my life has really changed. More on this another day.
Well, I'm off for now. Hopefully I'll be back soon. I'd love to see a comment from some of the visitors I have. It might just encourage me to write more often!
Blessed Be
