Who Cares Anyway?

There is so much to care about it makes my head swim. 

Stuff happens when you're busy doing somethin' else. 

Somebody used our property for a dump long before we took over managing the grounds! 

This is my friend, her truck and her helper hauling a little bit of rust away. 

 I swear I have to cut down on the crap I stumble over every day and the big load of things I care about. A few years ago (actually 30 of them) I got interested in the subject of enabling. I wanted to understand all the ways I was enabling addictive personalities in my family. Well, that information got me into a whole lot of trouble, let me assure you! If you want to lead a more intensely complicated life for awhile just get serious about studying (or re-studying, or refreshing your memory on) the interesting subject of enabling! Wow. Enough to make a grown woman curl up and cry! Be forewarned all you who care about life ..... learning about enabling gives a whole new meaning to Care Management. Managing what we personally do with our "care instincts" is a bugger. A real fat complicated challenge. And before we can fulfill our missions in life it would be a very good idea to get the enabling thing straight! Enabling is a given in life. There is no question whether or not we are enablers. We are all incredible walking, talking, breathing, eating, sweating, pooping enablers plain and simple. It goes with the nature of the beast. We are, therefore we enable. The question of enablement is where, when and how we choose to do this enablement thing. And once we get that down to an art and a science the more elevated issues of enablement arise. We start thinking of more complicated issues such as enablement of healthy habits vs. enablement of not so healthy habits. Mmmmm, and that's where the real fun starts!
