Roller Coaster - emotional times!

Sorry I haven't been posting anything ... I have been riding an emotional roller coaster brought on by the sudden demanding attention to the care of my only aunt and her declining health. Perhaps I should have continued to blog through it all, perhaps it would have helped me sort things out but the situation was a bit overwhelming and not as upbeat as I like to be.
She is getting stronger, safely tucked away in a good nursing home and her children are stepping up to make decisions for which I didn't want responsibility.
I was actually able to prepare our evening meal and do some laundry without guilt of leaving her unattended.
So, I plan to be posting images and art topics soon.
I hope when life races towards you at speeds you weren't expecting, you remember to buckle up and hang on.

  1. You don't have to post every day----you post when it's the time to.
    I'm glad to hear things are better with your aunt and the rest of the family is now in the mix.
    Take care, relax, and find some time for yourself. This is the voice of a lot of these experiences speaking.

    XXOO!
