How has life been treating y'all lately?
Mine is at a crossroads, but I don't know what the street names are yet. If past is precedent, I will soon be on one of them. Right now I seem to be in park. But that's good. I need to idle for a bit.
The suspense is killing me though...
For the last few years my life has been taking care of Grandma in her final ones. Before that I spent a few years where my life was a whole lot of things I did around the church.
Each phase of my life has closed out naturally before the next one started. The things I did around church were naturally closed out as the programs shifted - we don't do the puppet or sign team anymore, somebody else does bus driving, we no longer have a church bulletin, etc. All the things I did were supplanted by other forms that other people did. So by the time I needed to take care of Grandma, I was free to do so. I didn't leave a big hole in the church.
Now that Grandma has died, I am more than a bit curious what my next phase will be. Will I find the love of my life and get married? Will my brother with mental problems take a turn for the worse and I will need to move back to East Tennessee to supervise him? Both? Something entirely different?
Whatever comes, I hope it will be something that I can look back on at the end of it and say, "I am glad I spent that time doing that thing."
