Today is a reflection day for me..A day to gather my thoughts and find a peaceful place in my world. Here a captured photo of our sky a few nights ago. It looked like rain, peaceful, no wind and a calming feeling. I am thinking of family, My daughter, Nancy (many may know her as "Self Care Girl}" is in Australia, Her Husband has a chance to move there with her for a whole year..She is there working on a 3-6 months project and it looks like she will be there longer, so fitting that her husband can be sent there as well working for Boeing has some great perks.. My youngest daughter has just interviewed for a teaching position in her children's school district ( where she has be substitute teaching for two years) So that sounds positive for her. My son is working as is his wife as Artists in their own fields, He is a Comedy Magician entertainer and she is an excellent artistic muralist. That brings you to my husband who has just completed a treatment of many days radiation therapy for Basel cell cancer on one of his eyelids and one on his temple. We hope the treatments are successful as the pain on his eyelid is really bad. He suffers not so quietly sometimes and as his wife and sole caregiver You know how husbands can be "babies", but I must sympathize with him as it looks really yukky, and I can only imagine it does present painful situation and wearing an eye patch * as a pirate may be his Halloween costume..(Joking..) He is just very verbal on pain issues right now..and I will accept him as he is.. most of the time a wonderful man.. So all that said I think I need a cuppa tea and sit back a bit and count my blessings...

I sorta wondered what was going on with you, and now I know. Hang in there.
You definitely have a lot on your mind. I will be praying for you and for healing for your husband and for your daughters.
Be sure to take care of yourself. Being a care-giver is a tough job, even if it is for someone you love.
Cheryl, sending you and your husband much strength and faith as you both ride this storm. I can help is you contact me through my blog, which should be linked here. I am only a few minutes away.
Cheryl, my deepest thoughts are with you during this trying time. As a sole caregiver, remember to take time for yourself. I wish Hubby a speeding recovery and each and everyday the pain lessens. Super hugs, June
Cheryl, yes! Coffee would be nice. We could meet downtown at the Daily Bagel. Sound good? Let me know.
Will keep Clay in my thoughts and prayers. Yes, most men are a bit verbal when it comes to pain but in this case he's definitely not just trying to get sympathy.
Hope to see you one of these days when you're up here visiting.
