Dear Friends … Happy Vacation to Me! And YOU!

Dear Friends,

I’m sitting at my computer. It’s 1:00 AM. Later this morning, I will drop my mom off for respite care and begin a vacation. I can only TRY to imagine a day without acting as a full-time caregiver. And that means I need a day off. There is a two-week minimum. So, I get 14.

Most of those days I’ll stay home, my favorite place to be. I’ll be able to visit Mom every few days, but I’ll also be able to visit other places a couple days at a time. No matter how much I love Mom, no matter how much I love my home, I need a break. And so do you.

I don’t know what that looks like for you. But try to imagine how it feels. And try not to take a break, without really taking one.

Love smiles on you,
