Thank You, Searching...It's two fold...When caring for my mother, (2 yrs, lost her July 28, NOT complaining) going to the store was a fear she would wake while gone...Since, I have been like a kid making up for it all,I guess...The second, I don't want to just wonder about doing or not having done, so its "just do it"..... :wink:
I totally understand. I moved from the big city to the country in 2001 to keep my mom safe from herself and others. When I came to the realization I couldn't watch her 24/7, I had no choice but to put her in a nursing home which was 5 minutes from the farm. She didn't know me for the last 6 or 7 years of her life. I lost her in October. There's plenty for me to do on the farm, but no longer do I have that same central focus of my mother. I feel at loose ends and I'm probably going to take a few people up on invitations to visit, that and run off maybe to Sanibel Island or the Keys for a week. It's been so long since I've done something just because it feels good. That said, you go girl, fly like a bird!! There's no dry run. You snooze, you lose. Just do us all a favor and wear a safety helmet when you take off. We're kinda fond of you, you know. :wink:
