So many changes are ahead for us. For the last twenty years Josh’s medical emergencies were at least several times a year if not monthly. Each day our focus grew more narrow as his health declined; until our every moment was caring for Josh. This was not a complaint. It was just our reality.
Now we are faced with, not only moving to a different location and to a different home, but the possibility of reclaiming old hobbies and interests. Hobbies and interests we had not thought or dreamed about for over a decade, other than a snatched moment here and there. Simple things like reading, writing, sewing, knitting, crafting, playing the piano, cooking, entertaining, gardening, woodworking, just puttering around, enjoying an evening sitting under the stars, or going out to dinner as a couple.
Though sad to lose Josh, we recognize there is much we can chose to look forward to, so we choose to be thrilled that we will have time and room for family and friends to come visit and time and room to reclaim our hobbies and simple pleasures.
Our home in Gloversville opens the door to multiple possibilities. We feel like kids let loose in a candy shop. And, it is large enough we can do it all, if we organize it properly. So when you see us struggling with how to organize a room, it is because we have lived in a tiny home with one priority, medical equipment. Now we will have room for everyone and everything possible. If any of you have any suggestions, please feel free to contribute.
