I know what you mean, I still give thanks for what we are blessed with every day, I learned to remember by doing a thankfulness journal some years ago. Now I try to start each day with thanks for all the blessings, miracles, and gifts I receive each day and help to appreciate all of them. It helps. You sound like a very dedicated and loving mother. Nice to know you.

thank you! I call myself the inept servant. I am always doing something wrong it seems and mostly because there is just so much that has to be done right and I am often exhausted and distracted, trying to do 5 things at once. I take it one day at a time and I think about it in terms of just one day. That is all that is promised, just today. i love him so much and I am so proud of him. He works so hard to recover and to smile and reassure everyone else. I am in his one bedroom apartment, he sleeps on the couch. He also has a tortoise. she's a really good peeer and pooper!
My situation has gotten worse. I have breast cancer. And my sister is dying of breast cancer. So just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Now I think how wonderful last week was, when I didn't have cancer and my sister wasn't dying. So just in case next week is worse I'm going to really try to remember what is good aoubt this one day. I am able to grieve today. No appointments and no errands to run and leftovers for supper. i can be quiet and rest.
