Things are a bit better...

My dear friend is much better, at home and enjoying her family and friends again. Spring is advancing on San Diego as it usually does, fits and spurts to confuse the plants and people. I created a separate blog for the Wayfaring Wonderments hobby collaboration for Katie and I.
Note.. it is not a business, we sell things once a year maybe a few things here and there. By no means is it considered a business, not deluding myself on that.
We both came to the realization that we do not have the motivation or time or mental fortitude to actually create a business. We are afraid of succeeding.
Can you believe that!
We came to this epiphany driving home from another run to the craft store and have settled on building and creating things that will appeal to us and other people. It would be nice to make more money at it, but being under the radar of tax people is a good thing.
So, on with our usual pace with a bit more frenzied activity over the next three weeks until ConDor Convention at the end of March.

In other news...
Kids are doing okay, Devon is sleeping on our couch occasionally and helping with stuff when he's here. Amber and Dan had the twins assessed, and Wesley is positive for Autism, Andrew is minimal and seems to be mimicking Wesley's mannerisms rather than actually being autistic. They are three years old and still not talking in anything understandable.  There are more resources available to them now to get the boys help and moving forward with their development better.  Dan and Amber will be filing for divorce in the next month or so.
You know, there is a small corner of my emotions that says I somehow failed in how I raised my kids but then, they're all alive and they have fantastic outlooks on life that astounds me sometimes.  They may not be successful like doctors or have jobs that can support them but they are doing what they can with what they have.
So am I.
Move forward, one step and one day at a time, enjoy the sunrise every day and breathe deeper as the sun sets. We move on, the world turns and we are still here.
Now I need to get ready for work, using what I have learned to make an impact on people in a small corner of the universe.
 Lorien: "You can't save them all."
Sheridan: "No, but I can try."
That is similar to the two people walking on the beach, each time one found a starfish he would throw it back into the water. May not be able to save all of them, but each time it made a difference in the life of that one.
Peace out.
