FAMILY COMES FIRST, PUTTING PROJECTS ASIDE
Many times I have put projects aside, to accommodate family needs.
HOME & THE HALFWAY HOUSE
Some of my older children have left home more than once and have found their 'half-way house' here, in between their new post codes.
SEEDS OF THE FUTURE, FAMILIES EXPAND
More than many times I've attended to the needs of my grandchildren ..
SEEDS OF THE PAST, FAMILIES CHANGE
..and similar needs have arisen with my aged parents, though coming from a large family this has become more balanced with my siblings assisting.
QUEST ION
There is a question that we may all ask of ourselves and that is 'who am I?'.
CH CH CHANGES
For me the answer has changed over time,
MOTHER
.. but since becoming a parent the answer has remained first and foremost as 'mother'.
PROJECTS ARE CHILDREN
Perhaps it is time for me to regard my projects as children,
BIRTHING IDEAS
for we give birth to ideas so it makes sense to parent our plans and projects.
NURTURING SEEDS
In time and as they mature, both my children and my projects will offer me nurturing.
DISTANT SHORES
I would dearly love to move to warmer shores in time,
PRIORITES OF NEED
but for now my many 'children' need me.
LOYALTY
This is a value that I remain loyal to, if I cannot offer loyalty to my family then what sense would it make elsewhere?

Dear Isabella Wesoly, BA (Hons), Dip.Iris, FRSA ..
What a touching comment you wrote. It is time to consider my projects as my children. This is a great idea and if we find the tie to cater for projects as children thing would change dramatically. With al sincerity your comment should be expanded into a full post. It is deserving.
