I find a lot of analogies between my sculpture work and my care-giving duties. To say care-giving is heavy lifting might be an exaggeration but there are times when it is truly a burden. It has been said that any job can be done; all it takes is the right tools. My favorite tools for care-giving support are the “co-pilots”. It’s Monday and the Holidays are pretty much over. This morning Katherine came cheerfully bouncing in to help Annie with her day. They put away the minimal decorations and took off to get new tires on the car. From there it is to the grocery. Three things I didn’t want to do today are already done.
I’m building a gantry crane today and tomorrow. I need it to lift equipment and tools. The metal stores are still closed so today is more planning than building. My time is freed up to do the heavy lifting. Thanks co-pilots.
