As you know, here in our family we're going through a completely different timescale to "normal" life, due to illness. But what I've learned (i.e. I also keep having to learn it) is that in fact there is only the present moment. I don't know how relevant this is to you, but when my daughter first fell ill, my minister gave me two pieces of advice: don't have a specific idea of how this will all turn out, and *enjoy her*. I have found that so helpful. I'm much less focused on what "should be" happening, more open to the idea that God's plans and God's time ARE happening right now, and I'm much more able to really experience the happiness that there is here and now, the way things are. Those were the weights that I had to put down in order to breathe.<br />I really hope that you'll have found nourishment and replenishment in your days away. As I say to my daughter, remember that the commandment is as much to love ourselves as our neighbour. Take good care. I'm keeping you in my prayers. Light and healing is coming your way.
