I haven't checked on the blog yet, but lovely to hear from you.randamax wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 7:04 am I am trying to live my life very thoughtfully and intentionally. The journey has been an exercise in finding out what I believe to be really important. Along the way, I've eliminated some things that do not bring me joy, and I've found some other things that bring me boundless pleasure. This blog is one such thing. I don't know this woman at all, and yet I feel like she's become an old friend and wise advisor. In sharing this, it is my hope that you will find something that will stir joy and creativity in your life.

I could echo what you describe but in my life , its not a positive thing. The DS " stuff " that must be waded through and its life long impact is an exercise in what Extra stuff I just don't need or want to cope with. So anything I consider petty gets dropped like a rock.
For instance , had work not gifted me a challenging role that actually matters.........I wouldn't be there with all the , ( no other word for it ) C%AP that comes alongside. The good part has me thinking creatively on how to make a difference and its like RESPITE ( whch is what you imply the blog brings you ? )
Did I ever thank you for your message ? You are more than kind.
In life now, DS has been shown to have lost 10 cms in height due to the Rheum. Arthritus. Sometimes it is too hard to see how small his life has become. No dayservice activities which he loved, no going out at all in fact, he now has quite severe foot problems and his epilepsy and his other meds , as well as 24 pain meds feel like his life is one endless round of drugs . I have actually got him an in person apt with a consultant which was great but we've yet to have a physio programme agreed. COVID is nobodies fault but its impact on people like DS has been awful.
Hope your health has not failed you, thanks for posting .
