frustrated with myself but learning
arfie's last comment came at a really good time.
i've been on the arc of accepting 'in the moment' what is real or reasonable and what is not.
i am home now from my trip - and I find myself feeling the reticence of
getting back to business here at St. Nina's. Just the taking care of life
has me 'hemming and hawing' about what to do first and how things
really should be in my home - and how, by the fact that I don't have
it all down pat, really is something that I need to work on. Even in terms of
expressing it all - I just think that it's not easy for anyone - and what takes work
is life - taking care of life takes work - and the stress and fatigue is natural - and so I am going to keep the effort going - keep on keeping on -
keep at my positive direction moving forward with work - it'll never get all done perfectly
but it can remain in the direction of pushing of the rock upward as far as I can tell.
I have to go through my papers - and file them and organize them and or throw
them away. I've got to get Blue some supplies and clean out his litter box.
and clean my room- we're all dealing with it - it's life. I won't judge 'my brother' for
not having it all done well - and I hope he will look kindly on me with a sense of
understanding or even appreciation for what as much as I am trying to do - yet we all fall short
in the end - it's not easy for anyone I don't think. Some hire people to do it all for them! :)

Blue must have been so happy to see you Marky!
Pushing the rock up a hill sounds right to me at times for sure
Big hug...xo
Welcome home, Mark! You just went through a lot of transition - a new environment, travel - and handled it all incredibly well. You will soon settle back in at St. Nina’s. You got this!
Welcome home, Mark. Keep on keeping on.
Glad you're back home safely, Mark! Say hello to Blue for me. : ) Keep on.... Hugs.
Thanks Jan! Susan, and Nikki and Judy!!
I'm cleaning up the place and have got so much to do. Feeling all kinds of
cantankerousness and crazy - but I am taking care of things - I realize you can't
be happy all the time -you can't live in flow- I think I have so structured my life so solo - because
I found myself not ready to invest in someone else when I could not satisfy or take
care of myself. Truth be told - sometimes I am ornery, sometimes I am happy and glad. This post is certainly a release and relief! I have got to clean my room and bathroom - it's unfair to everyone that I should be such a slob Also it's good comradery,
