Maybe its message was more innocent than what I interpreted. Maybe I was reading too much into that sign at the hairdresser’s. I wanted to be able to focus on already those around me who needed my love rather than go in search for something else.Īfter several challenging weeks filled with visits to specialists, blood tests, MRIs, CT scans and even day surgery, we finally got some answers. I wanted to be able to communicate with my loved ones again, without tension or stress. In dark times shrouded with uncertainty, there’s a desperation to return to normalcy, fighting the threat that life might change drastically, dramatically. Yet, it’s also thrown us right back into perspective. It’s been the “unknown” that’s put our routine out of whack. Serious, unknown illness hit our family these past couple of months.

I would love to fit in an entire morning of writing every day or take a leisurely 10 click run every afternoonĪlas, I have bills to pay, mouths to feed and little bottoms to wipe. We’re all put on this earth to search for and achieve happiness, right? Surely, I could avoid missing out on creating a perfect world for myself, if I just spent some time concentrating on my great loves. Then, the compelling question…do I do all or any of these EVERY day?Īnd for a minute or two there, I sank into proverbial guilt.
