Being responsible

My life changed forever when my brother was diagnosed with cancer – I started to actually see the part we all play in the world we live in.  And I made changes. 

I decided to rant about that today over at Not Dabbling in Normal.

    I know what you are feeling. My hubby’s mother had breast cancer and she is in the process of have her chemo. We feel so bad because of the losing hair and feeling sick. But hopefully this will cure it for good!! I feel for you and my prayers are with you.

    Lisa, so sad about your MIL, I think of her all the time and hope she is doing well. Thanks for the kind thoughts, even though my brother died 20 years ago, it still is painful. Thanks again.

    I’m sorry about your brother. I remember when you posted about him before and I thought it was so great that you and he connected on a different level than your other sisters. If he could see you now, he would be proud of you and what you are doing to the homestead.

    I have chicken issues, could you please read my latest post? Thanks.

    For me, it was the moment when I realized with absolute emotional clarity that life is limited. Before that it was an intellectual knowledge. Until it becomes an emotional truth, I don’t think most of us “get it.”
