[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655951, member: 17461"] D H and I are at the lake, now. Mother's Day will be just the two of us, here where so many things, good and bad, have happened. We are still a family ~ I mean, with the kids and grands. Somehow, we have been able to pull through it. We talked to son and his family last night. Daughter, her family, one grand who is living independently now all planning to visit this summer. So maybe Mother's Day for me will be that sort of resting place between...not growth spurts so much, as that time between two things. I feel the desperate of the past few years slipping into the underlying currents that make up my life, now. I've started writing again; I can feel the change in my head. It has to do with our attention and intent. I was thinking about that this morning, after reading the thread on co-dependency. Thinking about my sister, and my mother, and realizing I had best shape up around these issues, let them take on their own identities without so much input from me. I feel laughter coming back, and expansiveness and joy ~ like really quiet, pretty much steady state joy. The "joy underlying all things", maybe. Remember when we were writing about that?
