Tell everyone to bring their favorite cup or mug with them on retreat! This was the text I received from Sue Landry the director of our Staff Retreat. Favorite cup or mug?

Our psychologist told me for the first time in our relationship I wanna moving forward and he was moving back. We have grown up together. I was 17 and he was 20 when we met. She told me we had spent the next 30 years growing together until.... the diagnosis.

I went for my passport today. I have never had one before. I had to show my birth certificate and for the first time in 26 years I needed my wedding certificate. I am applying for my passport so I can't be with our oldest in Ireland when she receives her white coat this coming March.

I am moving forward and he is not.

Have you ever watched a cruise ship turn around? I have. You stare at this massive ship that seems to take over the cove. It seems to not move at all. You turn away and stop watching turn back and hey its moved a little. You watch and watch and don't see anything until again you turn your attention away. Eventually you notice the ship has turned. It was infinitely slow but hey it made it all the way around and is now able to pull out of the cove and head to open sea.
