Nature delivers.

I've been real busy. Too busy in fact.  My mother has the double slap of Pakinson's and Lewy Body Dementia. It's been hard to care for herself when she doesn't know where she's at one moment, and in the next, knows .  Last week we took the offer by hospice and placed her in there for some medicine tweaking. It seems to be working, our last visit, she knew both my sister and me, and loved us. That was something she was having  difficulty with, and also us. One of the things that hospice was demanding of us, is to take time for ourselves.  We are.

You know how when things seem to be crashing down upon you, there is always little things that help refocus you. Nature always seems to do that.

This past month or so has been a blur. My mom's disease has begun a more rapid path. She can't be left alone on some days, and sleep has been getting harder to have. Last night, after a good day for her, I went out with my dog for a well deserved walk. And it seems when you really need some nature, she always comes through.

We are having Respite/ Hospice care now. It's too hard to keep up with everything.

Today is my birthday. And being as such, what could be a better thing than going out and being in the woods?
