The only thing I have ever done I did for first time this year. I went to my first naturist beach. All the way there, I told myself I was wasting my time and that I wouldn't go through with it. Right up until I had pegged down my beach mat. Then suddenly, I was naked. It was like a spiritual moment and I suddenly felt I was me. I went back again on any sunny day off that I had. I mentioned it to two of my children, jokingly. They weren't impressed. Kids, eh?

Bold decision? Last week I traveled to NYC to help a niece through a difficult stretch. Her fiance had suffered a stroke and was kept in an induced coma.

At home, I am caring for my little brother dealing with dementia. He was also in a difficult place. Then there are my pets, including 2 elderly dogs, 3 cats & 2 horses.

Can I manage the trip without things falling apart at home?

Did it have to be me?!

I decided that I needed to pull it all together. I returned from NYC Saturday. Things at home survived and my niece is in a better place. Her fiance is awake and recovering. I believe that my help was worth the effort and considerable expense.

Nothing to do with naturism, that is another story.
