Back to Magnolia...

Well, Mom is back at Magnolia.  She was released from the afternoon today, and got back in time for dinner.

My poor Mom.  She is just having such a hard time with life.  She is just at the end of her rope.  She is really struggling with everything.  I am having such a hard time figuring out how to bring her any inkling of peace or joy.  Nothing I can say or do brings her any relief.  Even when she gets something she really wants, she somehow skips right over any pleasure, and goes onto whatever is the next thing she is fixated on.  I am hoping that getting back to Magnolia, and some structure may bring her a little comfort.  But she needs to make amends within herself, and make a decision to not be miserable.  I am just not sure how to facilitate that in her...It is just hard to sit by and watch her suffer.

I am fighting this dreadful cold that is going around.  If you haven't gotten it yet, take your vitamins and wash your hands...It is no fun.

Much love.
