Day 29 – find the switch

Share a little “light” with a friend today. 

CAREGIVER NOTE:
Once again it was a “Find something good in every day” kind of day. Things can derail quickly at times. What is going well — have them put a name to it if they can. As a caregiver you need to do the same – and vocalize it. Shifting the dynamics in the moment can put a different spin on the entire direction things were headed and where the day goes from that moment. Repeat as needed.

Day 26

…learning to enjoy today has benefits: offering moments of happiness now and good memories for the future. 

CAREGIVER NOTES:

Unsettled — for a myriad of reasons yesterday. Carried that unsettling through the night. Hoping for a better day today and maybe he’ll find a smile or two when he’s showered, shaved and goes for a haircut later this morning.
