"We could never have guessed we were already blessed where we are . . ." James Taylor.
Do you ever wonder what this caregiving is all about for you? If it serves a higher purpose? Someone said to me that wanting to find purpose in life was all about ego, but I don't think that is true. I seem to need to believe that what I am doing has some purpose. Myths have themes where a person is interrupted in his or her journey and undergoes some delays and struggles. Sometimes that seems to me what this caregiving is: a delay in the journey of my life. So much is put aside, while we provide care. Is it, like in the myths, a time for forging our souls and developing our strengths? I hope so. Perhaps we are very blessed where we are. Who would have guessed?
