Moments over busy-ness
Shafts of sunlight, laughter from Mom, a hummingbird visit --all could have been missed if I went by old patterns to get stuff done by an arbitrary deadline. -Jan23

Sunday Fuse Blown
Sunday parental and pet juggling while trying to enjoy a Sunday service on livestream and enjoy Zoom fellowship pushes my patience too far. But I re-center.

Grease IS the Word!
When a reminder of a spiritual principle triggers a lyric from Grease: "feel your way"...and the song title is a further reminder for self-prioritization amidst caregiving. (June 25, 2025)

Oxygen Mask 1
Recorded 04-29-2025 at 1:11pm.. I realized I have not always been so willing to put the mask on myself first, the oxygen mask on myself first. And I thought, you know, that's really silly, because I lived overseas for 12-ish years.I was married to an airline pilot. We traveled together, and I traveled home usually two times a year, sometimes three.So I've been on a lot of airplanes, and I have heard that message, to put the oxygen mask on yourself first, probably more than most people.And yet, and I know, like I intellectually know the metaphor.I get it.And still, I'm having to congratulate myself when I do say to myself, I'm getting my coffee first.And then I'll get you your coffee.You can wait. It's okay.It's not okay.But I'm getting my coffee first.
