Journal entry:
Incredible Responsibility
I never needed
To ask anyone for help
Because she always
Took care of all my problems
With complete dedication.
Now the tables have
Turned and I am left in charge
Of her total care,
I feel quite inadequate
To take care of everything.
I promised brother
I would do my very best
And fully intend
To do so, but I am quite
Overwhelmed by her great need.
I pray God be with
Me every step of the way,
Guiding my hands, heart,
Mind, and soul, directing me
In all the things I should do.

I am grateful:
1. I do not have to live alone.
2. My Mom and the dogs share my life.
3. I remembered to mail the power bill.
4. I was able to get gas for the truck today.
5. Leigh came to get the garbage and visited a while.
My day was quite busy and a bit nerve wracking. I hope yours was less problematic. Before you complete this day I urge you to spend time creating. It is a splendid way to finish off your day. You will enjoy it and might encourage or inspire someone else.
As a prompt, write about a responsibility that sometimes seems a bit overwhelming. Maybe it is your job, caring for your children, caring for a parent, or keeping your household in order… Write a poem, story, journal entry, or note about the struggle and the triumph. If you use this prompt, please leave a link to your work in the comments below.
