Not so much this sweet month of August, I feel like the fly in the spiders web. Stuck in some ways, not necessarily someones supper, but for sure trying to break loose!!
My children's birthdays, and so many friends celebrating with me, the well wishes I hope have reached all.
My Trip with Emma to Hilton Head, with a second trip to Jacksonville. Spun me deeper then I had intened.
My mother has hurt her back, and daddy depends on mom, so off I went. Not sure of how to help, but thinking I could, somehow?? The web pulls in so many different directions, you try and go with the flow, until the spider starts to move! Then you need a plan, A,B, C and maybe D, because most spiders are not Charlotte.
It is never easy to see your parents hurt, or age. I have been lucky to have so many good years, and my brothers that live near them. This visit I was caught, being a daughter and wanting to be a helper. My parents, 82 and independent, came to a bump in the road.
We children have our ideas of what to do, how to help, but I don't think they are listening right now. That is OK, they are hurting and their minds are reeling. They may be stuck in that web also.
August is testing me, teaching me to be a good listener, trying to communicate better, and loving my parents through this special time.
It has also taught me to pack lightly, and be ready for anything.
August rain has drenched my feet and soul, but she reminds me of all that is good.
Faith is in knowing that I have no control. Who does, is what I know.
While helping?? daddy burn garbage, yes I think it is not OK, I saw this spider in this web. I ran and got my camera and took several pictures. I was like a child, I ran back inside to show mom and dad, " Look at his beautiful spider web." They oooooo'd and ahhhhh'd , like I was five. I told them, I think there is a blog in here somewhere.
I was right, there was.
Perception and a plan, Iam not waiting for that spider.
