What is the most important thing you will do today?

I think for me, it is probably going to fall between taking my littlest boy to the preschool playgroup he loves, picking up the older boy from school, and getting on that treadmill for the three mile project this afternoon.

Said littlest boy is itching to get his hands on a big plastic tool table and fix some things.
Older boy loves the end of the school day the best,
and me... I need to practice some self care in a most desperate way.

What about you? I want to know.

Most important thing I did today was help my mother make the difficult and yet still obvious choice to place my father in hospice care. Yesterday, it was helping my father use the toilet.

Funny how every day has a different way of being important to the different people in our lives.

no ideas on what you should do, sorry.

I do know that my personal way of making choices is to ask myself if what I am doing comes from a place of love and concern for myself and others, and if I will be able to look back on it without regret, knowing I did the best I could do with what I knew.
