Sometimes you just do what it takes to make things happen. If your commitments are important enough to you, you realize that it is all about choices, taking control of you life in whatever small way necessary and making it work. Yesterday I had two medical appointments and obligations to fill as Moms Taxi, in addition [...] From Family 2011 From Family 2011 In the face of uncontrollable challenges balance comes in managing that which can be. Until recently life was very demanding but manageable. It has since reached my limit with another uncontrollable and emotionally charged journey.
