One recurring theme that has come up among the nurses at the hospital is that most have been single mothers. One was telling me as we were fixing my mom’s bed that her three week old grandchild was sick and she was unable to think of anything else right now. She said, “I was a single mom when my kids were little and I had to struggle to work and take care of them and…
Campbell said you have to be prepared to give up the life you had planned for the one that presents itself and no truer words were ever spoken. Yesterday, having not seen my mother one day I was feeling very sad and anxious and guilty and throw any emotion in there you want – I was feeling it. Then work was firing on all cylinders as it is earnings season and there were ups and…
Last night I dreamed I went to a concert and left my jacket and purse on the windowsill and someone stoled the entire contents of my wallet and my jacket. I think it was hinged on a conversation I had with our friend staying with us, whose friend left her jacket in JFK on the flight here and someone pilfered it. I looked up dreams of theft and this is what I read: stealing Someone stealing…
November 06, 2009 Taurus (4/20-5/20) To ensure you have the most pleasant day possible, stay flexible and just let the world show you something fantastic. Save yourself from trying to create special situations — it’s a waste of time. The best moments in life are spontaneous — when everything just falls into place. So forget about all the planning and coordinating. If you can just let things be what they are going to be, the magic…
One day when this is all said and done, I’ll write the details of private adoption in the US and in particular the cost and who financially benefits – I’ll give you a hint, neither of the mothers. My friends who have emptied their pockets and adopted have all told me that once the baby is in your hands you forget about the cost, that includes financial, time, emotional, etc. My horoscope today – poignant.…
I told someone that I was wrong about hurricane season – that it doesn’t end on the 1st but rather the 30th of November. She said, well it was your intuition that it had ended, trust that. So there it is, I feel relief.
I’ve never been the type who was altruistic or even thought about entering the medical profession – I’m just not that way. But when someone is in need, even a little bit, and they come within my radar, I suddenly feel like wiping the slate clean of anything I need and taking care of them against all odds. I’ve been in that mode the past few days – wanting to just do whatever it takes…
I was telling my mother about my day – the stress of work, the stress of the birthmother’s needs, the stress of too much to do – she looked at me and said, “This too shall pass.”
Yesterday, I was juggling way too many things and today it was no different. The one part work, the one part my mom in the hospital, the one part the baby and the waves of how that is being played out, and a never ending to do list, I just about became apoplectic at mid day. I can’t do it all. I’m not a one woman show! And I realized that everything I had been…
Since we’ve just pass the mark where we leave the light days and enter the dark days, it was more than appropriate for Michelle to have us do our practice today with our eyes closed. There is something about diving into a pool and moving with your eyes closed that has this womb like feeling to it. Upside down, eyes closed, I thought about yesterday evening. T was at her conference and the house was…
