I'd peel off enough for my adult children to be able to care for their children by eliminating some of the stress they carry on their shoulders, but I also know that too much of anything is a bad idea, so enough to be comfortable but not enough to forget what it is really all about.
I would peel off enouh for Hyia to be able to go to college, and not have to face the struggles of trying to support herself during the process, and enough to live comforablly but not too in access.
I would do the same for my step daughter so she could care for the children she so obviously loves and help her go to college to be the incredible woman I know she is, and to help the people I know she would help.
I would peel off the a very large portion of it and send it to the rescues that I know do what they do, because they wouldn't waste a dime of it, and it would go to where I know it is needed most.
I would walk away from this horror of a place that I live, and find a place where I dind't have to look at another neighbor or deal with their domestic arguements and child neglect and their animal neglect. I woudlnt' need much, just an out. One thing, before I left, I would get Mary down the street a car so she could care for her son and not be beholding to anyone.
I would buy a bigger kiln, a supply of clay and tell the world to take a flying f with it's big tvs and fancy cell phones, and commercialism I can't stomach any more. I would keep doing exactly what I am already doing, and at the end of the day I would probably be just as exhausted as I am tonight, but I would be a lot less worried about the people I love most and that woudl be enough.
