Stress Happens

1. My 92yo Mother has shingles. She hurts.
2. My 90yo Dad asks the same questions 30 times.
3. My husband has cancer.
4. My neighbors have bad dogs and may be drug dealers.
5. The only thing I miss from my job is my paycheck, but I do miss that.
6. I have three granddaughters graduating from high school and a baby grandson due to be born, all within a few weeks.
7. Along with my brother, I will have POA for two childless aunts who are precious dotty old ladies, a la Arsenic and Old Lace, although they don't practice murder.
8. I have to update my husband's daughter, my good friend, about her father.
9. Gas is so expensive, I would feel guilty about taking the drives that used to calm my soul. I may do it anyway, especially when the dogwoods bloom. What price peace?
10. I realize that I have retired without many of the things I meant to do, and there is too much going on with my family now to do them.

Oh, well. This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.
