Breaking Light

Yesterday slips into memory as I ponder life, wondering about the future.  A colleague just lost her husband of 38 years.  I can only imagine the pain.  I think of her as she deals with the grief and all the demands made on survivors when one life ceases.

She is in a new school teaching a new grade.  Lots of new people that are still working separately, who have not integrated as a team.  The support system of colleagues still developing.

I read this phrase recently "what all of us need: not easy answers to difficult questions but someone willing to share the pain of the struggle".  This phrase really resonated in my soul.

This morning I stood in our front yard wrestling with current life struggles.  The morning light begins to break.  This statement rings true for me, as I reflect on my life.

Leeza's Place

Leeza Gibbons has written a book titled "Take Your Oxygen First". After reading some of the reviews it's going on my list of books to read soon! It sounds compelling.

Leeza Gibbons has developed a great website. It has great resources for caregivers and their loved ones. It blew me away. The site deals with solving today's problems as well as helping fund research for a cure. Her mother said, "Tell my story and make it count." Leeza has surely done that.
