Thanks, Denise,
I copied it and put it into my creative caretaking journal which I started. I always like your words of wisdom!

Denise? Something I just noticed in your wishes. Why do dreams play such a big part in our caretaking journey?

Hi, It’s as EJ says.
I think in a tough time, our dreams can be the first to leave. It’s so important to find them again and keep them. They make us who we are.

Thanks Denise, I am trying to “find” my dreams again. Both for Mom and me. Hence the post to the Caretaking Journal this week and my Happiness Post. I must say? I think all my dreams and aspirations have been driven from my mind and Mom’s. Maybe we can bring forth some more in the new Spring of 2013. Thanks again!

Love these, Denise! Happy New Year and Blessings!
I noticed the emphasis on dreams, too. I think it’s because as caregivers we so often abandon our dreams, by putting our lives on hold for so long and so severely. And yet, our dreams define us and give us our drive to continue as human beings. We may not be able to enact them as we’d like, but we need to keep that flame within us alive, so that we can go on.
