There has got to be more

Wow!  I haven't posted on this little blog in over a year.  I really haven't felt I had anything to say to anyone in my little cubicle of the internet.  Then, God brought this blog to mind this past week.  I don't know how often or what I'll post, but when the mood hits me, I'll be back.

As the first post in over a year, I was wondering if anyone out there feels like I do:  There has to be more to this life.  My life has changed drastically since I retired in 2017.  Six months ago I became the full-time caregiver to my soon-to-be 91 year-old dad (November 9).  I would not trade that for anything, but before he came to live with me, I was already feeling like there had to be more.  I felt like I was wasting my life and was no good to anyone.

Now, I know my job at present is to take care of Dad, but I still wonder, "Why am I here?"  I am not one of those retired people who wants to travel every few months or play golf (YUCK!), but I want to do something meaningful with whatever time I have left.  My problem now is discovering what is meaningful and if there is a place for me.
