We Are Meant to Fly

"We, like the birds, are meant to fly and sing -- that's all -- and all of our plans and schemes are twigs of nest that, once outgrown, we leave." Mark Nepo

As humans, we do have plans and schemes.  How many plans and schemes have you left because of caregiving?   I closed a psychological practice to provide 24/7 care for my loved one, and then I opened it again to offset the expense when it was necessary for him to be cared for in a longterm care facility.  I did not plan to do either of those things.  Each of us, who are caregivers, give up some things to accommodate doing other things.  Let's just make sure we are not giving up things that are critical to us.
