Feeling Heartbroken & Exhausted

When a family member has a life threatening illness, it's time to come together as a family, not increase family drama. It's a time to help each other, not make a commitment & then back out. It's not a time to cut off communication because you're having a stressful time in your life. Think of how stressful it is for the family members directly involved in the care of the loved one fighting for their lives. It's not a time to punish the innocent in this fight, it's time to support them. It's not a time to say if you do the treatment the family members says they're going to & die as a result, I'm never speaking to a different family member again.

I don't have the energy to fight 2 fronts right now.

Happy National Lighthouse Day! What.......you've never heard of it?   I'm not surprised. Aug. 7th, 1789 - Congress approved an act to support the building, maintenance & support for lighthouses around the country. Many lighthouse people celebrate this day even tho its not recognized nationally. These beacons led ships to safe ports & warned them of dangers of impending rocks & shoals. Do you have a love of lighthouses?  There is a magazine for you. Lighthouse Digest Magazine Here are 2 of my favorites - This is the one I visit every fall when its lit on Nov. 10th. Learn the history behind these magnificent beacons.  Its an interesting story. Later, L http://www.lighthousefoundation.org/museum/natllighthouseday_info.htm

A bit about me

Hello! First off, let me tell you a little bit about myself.   I'm a mom & a grandmother.  I'm also a recent college graduate.   Oh.....one more thing......I'm very outspoken. Growing up, I was told to be quiet.....a lot.   My grandparents told me that children should be seen & not heard.  The woman who called herself my mother rarely had time for me.  My dad died at a young age.  My uncle shushed me constantly when I was trying to explain things to him. I was in a shell until I turned 16.   I slowly came out.   Once I graduated from high school, I started teaching. Once I became a mom, I became more outspoken.  As the years have passed, I've become more outspoken. I've offended some people with how up front I am.  I don't hold any punches.  If you don't like what I say, then you know where the door is or in this case, close the tab or window. So, the opinions & 2 cents will start soon. Later, L
