All in All...

...so much going on... open house, calls from doctors, keeping tabs on responsibilities, keeping cheerful, hopeful, open to change...

If someone had told me a year ago that I would be going through all of this, I would have expected some of it, but not all of this....

Many say that I'm strong... hmmmm...
Perhaps focused... perhaps adamant... perhaps strong

It's not easy giving up a life that you have loved... the dream home, the perfect family, the oh-so-friendly neighborhood, the extra money to spend on things to foo-foo up the dream home...the garden the birds that visit the feeder, the neighborhood shops.

But... I must .. all for... peace

Peace... it's priceless...

And it is my goal... my target... my object of focus....

Is this a case of out with the old, and in with the new... ? Looks like it.

Years ago, I came up with a saying... I'm not sure why, I'm sure what the situation was... no doubt I was expounding advise to someone. But the saying has served me well... and as much as I dish it out to friends and others, I must also serve up a helping for myself...

'Sometimes, the right thing to do is the hardest thing to do.'

As hard as things are, and have been, and no doubt, will be... they are all the right thing to do.

Alice Walker said something similar - the things most worth doing are the things that scare us the most (not an exact quote)
