All Else is Madness

July 1, 2011

“See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather.

Morning Agitation

August 23, 2010

I am agitated this morning.  I didn’t sleep well.  I awoke in the middle of the night worried about Daddy.  Is he getting the care that he needs?  I think he is too weak to be alone, but I can’t be there all day, everyday; neither can my sister.  He is just stubborn enough that [...]
