A light at the end of the tunnel...maybe

After four long months, my hubby is finally coming home. Not because he is greatly better but his sentence is up. Apparently, healing has a limited warranty. Well he is improving and will probably be better at home but home is not really the best place for activity and therapy. There are too many stairs and no quick exit in an emergency. Insurance companies suck. I don't know what they are there for. You need to be a genius to complete all the endlesss forms to fill out. Shame on them especially since we are not responsible for the accident.
On a sad note and to add to the mounting disgust with a careless driver, my dear brother in law passed away. How sad that my husband has been so disabled that he was not able to travel and spend a last few days supporting his sister in law and sister as they held his hands in death.
Truly we must sometimes wonder at what people think when they do something STUPID and then further do they know the havoc they wreck in people's lives? too sad.
My heart goes out to those who lose family members.

In moderation

Not sure how much it takes to realize that there is a time to let go. I guess if we look at sign posts along the way it will become clear. I apparently need a battering ram. When it comes to visualizing a future my vision is 220/20 in both eyes. I can't believe that I am so happy due to a silly mix up on the phone. I was supposed to do a 12 hour shift tonight. Someone else is doing the first four. Happy....You bet! Four unplanned hours to myself. Like a dream.
Puppy is happy. Too many long hours for her to be alone. I can rest before I go in...a rarity. Time to think about how I want to live my life for the rest of my life.
Last week, one of my working badges fell apart. Poor quality was my thought. Then I leaned against a table and broke another one. Time to start thinking that maybe the universe is telling me something.
Thinking about what makes me feel content always comes back to the same theme. I am working with women, teaching them to find the pathways in life, sharing what I know and learning, still learning what I can. It makes no sense to run through the best years of your life carrying so many burdens. We can't have lived our lives to now thinking 'is this all there is?'
