Since then, my role in my parents’ lives has changed. They need more from me now—guidance, help, and attention. It’s not just their crisis. It’s also mine. I’ve realized I can’t help them effectively if I don’t have my own house in order. Literally and figuratively.
Boy, this hits home for me on so many levels: relationships and loss; problems of holding on to too much spiritual, emotional and physical ‘stuff’; conjuring the possibilities for the new chapter in my life; making space for change; and focusing on positivity, creativity, new friendships, physical activity and healthy choices.
Unlike my typical approach to problem solving I looked for help from others in the form of counsel, inspiration, understanding, support and fun (my reward!). I have growing enjoyment in the unfolding story. Like touching a mobile, when something shifts in one place everything else shifts too. Now, as a participant rather than an observer I feel sourced with more positivity, creativity, new friendships, and better health all around; the changes I wanted for my life.

Thanks, Chris and thanks for this. It's a great reminder of the impermanence of it all.
