So happy to hear you are doing well. A message.... what a good idea!! Taking good care of the caregive is very important to all your current and future clients. Good on you for taking such good self care. Yes, getting our attention to your thread was a good example for all of us to not give up when we need a helping hand. Thank you for your example.

And thank you for sharing your love with me. It means a lot to feel appreciated. I am a writer..... of sorts in real life. While I aspire to write novels and such I currently make a living writing funding proposals, policy manuals, research and planning documents for non-profit organizations and government agencies..... mostly native health, education, arts and social services related interests. I had to leave my job as a college administrator because of my illness. Now I market the skills I'd developed to help other administrators shuffle paperwork to and frow.

I want to write my mother's story someday but the time hasn't come for that yet. I write short stories and what I call poetry but probably isn't technically correct enough to really qualify as poetry but it expresses things my other writing doesn't so it speaks for me just the same.

I do enjoy writing and feel blessed that my free-flowing ramblings on the boards sometimes says something useful and inspiring for people. I feel blessed. Thank you for reminding me today.

Hope to see you drop around the native spirituality thread someday where we can talk more about your native ancestry. Cool.

Keep smiling..... it brings healing to all who see the love you share.
