Leaving for Michigan

In my first post after not jogging for almost 2 months it's hard to fill in the blanks. I'm flying to Lansing, Michigan tomorrow to be with my mother in her last days.  Lost my former mother in law in November, my husbands Christmas Eve and now my Mom. Seems surreal. She has Alzheimer's and I think a lack of will to live. Her biggest fears were being in a nursing home (where she is) and having Alzheimer Disease. This all makes one think and evaluate where one is in their life. No New Year's resolution but quietly contemplating the past and future. Hopefully when I come back the weather in Washington will be more agreeable. We've gone from record snow to rain to now floods. I'm packing up handwork. It's more soothing than reading at times and I can still visit. My sister from Calif. is also coming and know she's not anymore ready for the extreme cold in Lansing.  If you haven't seen it yet check out Cyber Fyber, an online and gallery display of incredible work, all arranged by Susan Lenz. I can't believe how prolific she is in making beautiful and thought provoking art as well as being organized to produce this major event.
