Serenity

As I was packing for this trip to Chicago, on travel day, I was feeling surprisingly calm---consumed by a sense of peace and resolve that I don’t even recognize. Somehow, I knew everything was going to workout as it should and that I need not feel anxious or filled with dread. As I locked my apartment to catch my flight, I felt serene.


I am feeling newly empowered I have no doubt it is driven by all the journaling, research, blogging, and writing I have been doing for a month and a half now on caregiving for my aging parents. I had also arranged to meet with representatives from Vitas, the nations largest hospice services supplier. Some how, I know it’s the right thing to do—to further ensure my family’s safety and protection. VITAS will provide a protective umbrella around our current caregiving system.

This trip, I will videotape lots of activities. I will give my camcorder another try…..
