I just arrived from Brazil. Exhausted, but so happy I went!
When I left, I had great plans for this blog. I was going to post something every day. There would be tons of pictures. I assumed, incorrectly, that I would have the time and energy to write, and to also do my office work. None of that happened.
Instead I devoted my time to my family. I got there and gave my brother a much deserved break. I was left in charge of everything, including meals, medication and taking my Mom to a couple of doctor’s appointment.
I have a renewed respect and understanding for all that my brother has been doing. It is not easy! And to cook, on top of it all! Lunch is a huge affair in Brazil, specially at my house. At breakfast there is already discussion about the menu for lunch.
I will talk more about that and other details about being in Brazil. At the moment I am scrambling to catch up with work stuff. Work has been neglected. I have been neglected. I neglected you.
Gotta run, just wanted to say hi. I look forward to catching up to everyone’s blog/life. I have missed you!!
“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.” ―

Welcome back. I can relate as I’m just returning from my trip to Virginia to help my mom with lots of projects.
Hi Brad,
Yes, you probably can relate well to my days in Brazil.
Every morning I would have a list of projects to tackle. I am happy to say that I completed 99% of the things I wanted to do.
I hope you were as successful! I am sure your Mom appreciated your efforts and presence.
Blessings! ♥♥
Yes, I accomplished a lot, including some fun things for mom too. 🧡

Thank you for sharing and looking forward to new adventures!!… glad all went well for you on your journey, you would have regretted it if you did not go… now you have more fond memories to get you through the dark days and life’s challenges!… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
May green be the grass you walk on
May blue be the skies above you
May pure be the joys that surround you
May true be the hearts that love you.
