Resolution.....

It is the new year, filled with hope and promise. At least this is my optimistic self’s wish. I have neglected my blogging obligations for too long. The decline started with Dad’s first heart attack and continued from there.

I am not one for resolutions, because I can never seem to keep any of them. My life is full of deadlines, duties, schedules and organization that I let the non-essential items fall by the wayside. What I fail to do is to remind myself that blogging is a cathartic experience for me. It allows me to drain the well of emotions that clog my heart. It clears a path for me to see that indeed there is a road in front of me and that life is a never ending journey.

With this in mind, I will try my best to blog each week. In addition to the cleansing benefit of writing, I really want an account of living with Mom. Knowing full well that as time passes, so do the daily details of life. It is in the details that give life to a story, allowing it to breathe. Inhaling the aroma of our lives gives us meaning and purpose. It connects us to one another, forming a community of travelers. While each of us has our own journey to follow, our paths intersect over and over. I know I am not alone. And perhaps that is the greatest benefit of blogging.

Peace,
