Joyriding is therapeutic
Now we were the ones taking our time out on the road
We got a late start tonight but it paid off for us with this sunset 🌇
A couple of things I'm trying to work into our routine more is get more connection with our extended family. We are about 30 of us with kids and grandkids. It's truly a blessing to see our parents progeny so abundant. We have a wonderful close family and we're going to take steps to include them in our North Star vision🌟
Shade is going to live a long good life around people who love and respect her. Right now she has a say in her future. We'll keep working to keep the catatonia away, to allow her choices for as long as possible. She's going to need her cousins as advocates as I age.
So we're adding family phone calls to part of our joyride time. It's the time Shade is most relaxed outside of her bedroom and she's comfortable enough to visit on the phone for a few minutes without much interference from the voices or pain.
She isn't always mentally present the whole time but she does catch herself more often because she genuinely cares for her family very deeply. She always was the cousin who connected all the others together. ✨️
Ok so the plan is get out joyride a bit earlier and connect with family and sunsets or pretty open spaces to share.
Enjoy your family!

PS: We named the car Stary Night =Noche Estrellada to fit in with the pleiades theme of Subaru and it's deep sapphire color 💙
Shade loves the moonroof
What a great way to make a day out of the Spring / soon to be Summer weather
What an inspiring way to build family connections for you and for Shade— for the short term and long term.
