I don't know if I have the concentration required right now to focus on The Artist's Way.

I could not do any of the sorting (on terms of AW) when my dad was in the nursing home..
There was a great thread going here .. Reunion att mari mari or something like that.. I started it and I pulled out..
I had to take care of me and I had to be into my dad.. It was my time in life to do it..
And it was horrible.. I would travel two hours on the train to see him.. and he would be asleep.. or he would not be with us..
Off in never never land.. I would sit and watch TV and try and make words.. and then I would leave and get on the train and go home exhausted..
Three years… in that long term care facility..

I'm not sure if I'm just using my mom's stroke as an excuse or what. I don't think I'm avoiding my inner self, as I've come to some pretty heavy realizations this past week...stuff having to do with what the purpose of life really is and what love really means. (As we would have said in the 1960's, "heavy, man, heavy".) But I'm having a lot of trouble staying still and quiet within myself. I'm having trouble staying focused when I read my books....

What you are going into is so darn hard.. There were times when I never thought it would end..
I can remember the head nurse saying to me when dad was very ill.. near the end.. She said “You have been going through this for a long time.”
