He’s my Son

 

He’s my our Son.

His disease doesn’t have a cure.

Yet.

So in the glorious opportunities of everyday life, there is always a grounded reminder to live in gratitude.

Always.

Grounded.

Is codependence insidiously impacting your life?

Church hymn
First verse struck yesterday…”Where saints and sinners are friends. I wait to welcome the lost and the lonely to share the cup of my love.”

 

Is codependence insidiously impacting your life?

A local counselor describes enabling as:

A behavior that’s used to ease relationship tension caused by one partner’s problematic habits. Enabling behavior, which is rarely seen in healthy relationships, includes bailing your partner out, repeatedly giving him or her another chance, ignoring the problem, accepting excuses, always being the one trying to fix the problem, or constantly coming to the rescue.

When you cannot change another, you either remain codependent or you must find the courage to step away, perhaps forever.

PS. Ignoring behaviors/habits and accepting excuses are the ones that hit home hardest for me.

The first thing an Angel says

Highline Trail
About 2 miles into their first Highline Trail hike, July 30, 2017. Do not fear the distance nor the altitude.

 

It’s been said the first thing an Angel says to a human is, “Fear not. Be not afraid.”

Good stuff.

How do you help a person who no longer embraces hope?

How do you help a person who no longer embraces hope?

For someone under 30 years old, you can use personal role modeling.

For someone over 30, i submit that you can’t change them.

Thirty isn’t the magic number, but i believe it’s close.

At some point in life we convince ourselves we are either victims or victors.

And from there we live a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?

Bruce Springsteen
Bruce was becoming an American icon about the same time i was becoming friends with Cheryl (1979).

 

Was this the first time he thanked me for visiting?

Maybe.

Can’t recall the last time.

A simple gesture gave me hope yesterday.

The wait of 37 years came with no expectation.

Hope that i am changing in order to be a better nursing home visitor.
