Dear All, The update on my step mother's illness is that all wish to keep her at home as long as possible. I do the washing and collecting at airports. We are very cordial with one another and though I feel pain at the situation, I practise detaching. I went to the seaside yesterday for a break which was great and called in on my way home for travel arrangements and washing. Yes they were all drinking at 6 when I called. I hid my revulsion but am not in denial about it, but realise that this is not my call or my business. Went home did the washing, went to bed early, Say prayers for us all, will update soon,
Detachment & practising MYOB (minding my own business) was really hard at first but as you unplug and disengage from things that you can't control anyway, life does gradually get better & less stressful. Realizing what truly is my concern and what isn't has been a huge gift of this program. Being aware and not in denial and detached is a beautiful Blessing that is hard to describe. Finding that I have all of this extra time and energy just for me, was scary in itself at first but I am learning how to love and care for myself and I can really appreciate me!
Keep at it, sounds like you are doing great!

How wonderful you can give to yourself. I think of you often and hope your job search is going better. I try to work in some more renewal for myself. You are doing incredibly well considering the circumstances.
