Thanks be

I give thanks to God for the many blessings I have been given. I give thanks to God for the peace that allows me to reconnect to Spirit throughout the day. I am thankful. I watch as my mother lays the groundwork to have my stepfather admitted to a nursing facility. I step back for I shall not be a part of this mess. Although I do not agree with his actions, his only issue is drinking. He is able to feed himself, know where he is going, know why he is going somewhere, and he still can handle his own business. When he was in the hospital, the swelling around his brain altered his mental capacity. The conversations I have had with him since his release from the hospital do not show anything more than the normal wear on the mind given his age.

My mother is quick to damn another without first calling herself on her own actions. The end does not always justify the means. However, she knows not to call me to be a witness. I am not willing to lie.

On a lighter note, day 6 and I am still working it out on the training. I shall be able to be a part of the marathon in 2012. I shall do some aerobics when we return home. I had a mini bagel with peanut butter this morning and a small glass of juice. I feel good.

Getting the house fixed was the first thing on my mind this morning. Being able to have the funds to fix the house. Peace is my word for the day.
