Every year, I try and pick a word that will help me aling the right path for the year. Last year was commitment, the year before was intentional. But I think my "word" for 2026 needs to be patience.
Because as I look ahead to the coming year, I know I am going to need a ton of patience dealing with Mom.
Friday's visit, she told me the nurses are wanting her to be more independent, to wheel herself to the dining hall, for example. And we tried that while I was there. And she seemed to handle it fine.
I didn't visit yesterday, and this morning she tells me she's having a lot of back pain from wheeling herself around, so "no more of that". *smh* When you start using new muscles, you will have some pains! But she's never been to a gym, so ......
She also tells me "Bring some checks. I should have already mailed [your brother's]." I'm not even going to go there.
So.... patience.
I've always heard it said "Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it." In other words, if I pray for more patience, I may be given more circumstances that require more patience??? Yikes.
So.... patience. Please.
