Month: September 2023

Give thanks for every day.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

There’s a pattern building…. he’s frustrated, but every suggested solution or suggested activity is thwarted with an “I can’t do that anymore” or “I’m too tired to try.” Not sure if he’s really to the point of not being able to do something or he doesn’t want to try and not be able to complete something successfully as he’s been able to do in the past. Hoping today’s reframe of some suggestions prove successful.

Stick with a good friend today!

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Laughter seemed to be the keyword for the day. A few jokes and remembered stories. Lots of uh-oh’s and oops! But all done with a smile when possible. I think the sunshine and blue skies helped a lot — we’ve concluded that the day before’s down side was caused by the gloomy weather and lack of sunshine. Here’s to another day of sunshine! 🙂

Be all you can be.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

When things don’t quite flow as you’d like…. there’s been some “nigglin'” going on in his head the last 48 hours. He’s worrying about some things. We weren’t able to provide the answers he wanted or ease his thoughts much. Hoping today is a better day and we can find a few things he’s interested to keep his mind from going to the worries again.
