Edie here. Today I'm excited to introduce you to my long-time writing friend, Emme Gannon. Emme has been in my life for many years and her gentle encouragement has always been a breath of fresh air. I've finally convinced her to share her insight with you as a regular columnist. Her insight as she manages full-time caregiving with full-time writing is an invaluable resource. Please give her a warm TWC welcome!

You're a Caregiver

One more hour before I had to be home to relieve my
husband’s caregiver and I’d not met my writing goal. I’d driven to the park and
found a vacant bench where I tried to relax to the sound of the Reedy River as
it gushed over boulders and tumbled to rocks below. I inhaled the scent of the
nectar-sweet flowers edging the river and silently asked God to de-clutter my
mind so that words would come. Today was to be one of those days where thoughts
of duties at home would march across my mind and snag my words.
