The Art Center has been our home away from home for almost ten years. Over the last week I have been taking time off to clean and deal with personal issues. Now work is coming behind my family. I think about work and still do my work but my mind is not fully there. I am with Mike and Alex and all the family challenges that are upon us and ahead of us. I am needed at home now. I am needed to re-prioritize and I am just needed. In 24 days the love of my life will go into surgery. I am confident that he will be fine and recover well. But life has changed and I am changing with it. I have a sense of nervous excitement about it all. That's my usual way I take on challenges.
It is morning and Alex is doing his usual routine of not wanting to get dressed for school. Strange being a parent and remembering my Dad trying to get me started in the morning. We have to be quiet here because Mike is resting. When I was a kid my Dad would turn on Polka Music very loud and clap is hand and smile and laugh. Drove me nuts but it did wake me up and usually I ended up smiling also. Everyday is a gift, my dad would tell me! This is not a rehearsal this is your life so live it, he would say! I like these two phrases. He also said, money does not grow on trees! But, I am still hoping we can someday fix this one.
