I have been really busy these past weeks cleaning out the house of a loved one whose husband passed away back in January. She's wheelchair-bound now and cannot help at all so my wife and I have been doing everything for her. It's hard work but we're almost done now.

Going through someone else's belongings and things by putting them away, selling some things, throwing away others is changing the way I look at my own life and the legacy I'm leaving (if anything beyond my kids). I look more long-term at the things I have now and the things I want to get: someone else is eventually going to become a steward of all of these things - even if that 'someone' is my kids, I want to make things easier on them somehow. I don't have any solutions yet but I'm thinking about it.
I am glad you are finding modafinil helpful. I hope it helps you more in time.

I often read about how you and your wife are helping others less fortunate. I am thankful there are people like you both and wish there were more people like you!

I am helping my mom clean out many years of saving things. She doesn't want her children to have to do it all if/when she is incapacitated or passes on. I am also sorting my stuff; I have too much stuff accumulate over the years, too.

Thanks again for being you!
