I spend more time thinking about the future and what life will be like after my parents are gone. I may complain about my life as a caregiver. But once they are gone, what will I do. It scares me a bit because I will really be on my own.
I hope I will have the ambition to keep up doing things creative and looking for things that are beautiful.
Every morning, I wonder what my parents will be like today. My biggest challenge is having enough patience to care for my parents. Life as a caregiver is the hardest job I have ever had.

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
My playtime isn’t a daily event. It happens when I can fit it in with caregiving duties. But when I can, I try and get a hike in.
This New Year’s Day, I planned it well and went on my annual hike with my cousin, E, to Maili Pillbox. It was a beautiful day, perfect for a hike.
The feral goats were out. Someone brought up a Christmas tree and decorated, too. The blue of the ocean and sky was amazing. I love starting my year with a hike, and Maili Pillbox is always great. It makes waiting for “playtime ” worth it.
