Life sentence?

"See your life as an adventure story instead of a life sentence.  Enjoy the process." Rev. Chris Michaels

If we are honest, I think those of us who are caregivers sometimes feel as if this is a life sentence.  I know I certainly do.  Sometimes, especially last summer and fall, I felt as if I would never have any life except this one filled with someone who needs so much help, a life filled with so much responsibility and constraint, a life filled with putting what I want to do aside for now.  But, in my better moments, I know that is not true.  There is a spiritual gift in this caregiving for me, and this time will pass. I promise.
