Listening to AM 6.0 subs has been a challenge lately because I've been so focused on my parents. My mom is suffering from dementia (like Alzheimer's) that was only recently diagnosed, while my dad has been declared legally blind. I never thought I'd have to care for aging parents. SURPRISE! I keep thinking about my dad and the crap I put up with from him. Now his well-being is in my hands. What freekin' irony.
Anyway, don't want to dwell on the personal dramas. Just wanted to urge everyone to live life now...in the moment. A year ago my parents were strong capable people, now they are like children. You just don't realize how quickly things can change.
AM 6.0 has led to some interesting interactions with my dad, who has always considered himself to be an alpha-man, but isn't. He barks out orders, and everyone ignores him. I tell him to do something, he protests...and does them. I've got no patience with his shenanigans these days, and it is freaking him out a bit. He has no choice but to accept it though.
Switching gears a bit, here is an interesting development. Many of you read about my recent nightmare concerning archery and the kid with the bow and arrow. Well, there is this really cool lady that I met recently, and her hobby is archery. It is a passion she shares with her son. Is that strange, or what?
Not much more to report. I'm in the tail end of stage 2 of AM 6.0. I'll be starting stage 3 on 7/5. At that time fireworks will start up again, and will gradually subside over the 32 day cycle. That has been the pattern thus far.
Loving the experience.

Sorry to hear about your parents but you never know when life will through you curve ball. The only thing that matters is how you deal with said curve ball when it presented to you. That is why you don't want to take anyone in your life who means something to you for granted. They could be here one moment and then the next thing you know they're gone. About the archery there is a deeper meaning about this, not sure what it is but pay attention to the signs along the way. Usually when something presents itself more than once, then you need to pay attention to it.
