OK, you blessed blogging sisters have convinced me to forgive myself.  I called my family and apologized and they were so graceful and kind. (They said there was no need to apologize but we accept it even though it is not necessary.) And they understood.  I know I am too hard on myself.  I need to work on that.  Oh yes, I do. So thank you for reminding me that I can forgive.


So in other news I have been swimming lots, more specifically water jogging.  What a hard workout!  It burns over 450 calories in 45 minutes.  It is a great stress reliever too.  


My mom is still on the Palliative ward. She has cancer in her right lung now and her lung is filling with fluid.  She is having a it drained tomorrow. But, it will fill up again.  She seems to be doing well emotionally.  Her daughter falls apart every so often.  And she supports her.  What a lovely mom she is.
