My weight loss leader posted off list to me. "What's wrong? Why are you struggling?" That's paraphrased. It was several days ago now and I don't remember the exact words. I got the impression she interpreted me to be having a lot of emotional issues or something. I have to admit that, though I didn't want to vent on her, I gave her the long story short.

There are issues. Doesn't everyone have issues? The spouse gives a hassle about why is he the only one who can carry the trash to the garbage can. The kids want to know why they have to do anything around the house if their dad doesn't have to. Elderly parents need help here and there. Like right now. I called to talk to Dad about something only to find he is not well today. So I will set aside my "stuff" and go to see him and Mom. You will understand if this entry is not a long one...and perhaps why I'm not here at this blog as often as I would/should/could be. Somehow the energy of my golden year, the ambition of my PurplePassion50 blog has been affected by all of the responsibilities that I feel I have to bear. But as Mom has always told me, "It won't always be this way."

Come visit me another day...I will be back!!
