Look for the rainbows

CAREGIVER NOTE:

More lucid dreams – and not recognizing where he was for a while. He searched through the drawers of the dresser looking for his clothes. He couldn’t place what was in the drawers as being his. Grateful he was a bit calmer than our last episode. He was able to go back to bed after some reassurance that he was in our home, that he was in his room with his clothes and other things.

countless blessings

Count the blessings you’ve had the privilege to be a part of from the moment you woke up this morning.

….your breath, your eyes opening, smelling the refreshing rain, the flowers blooming in the yard, family by your side, memories as you look at the pictures on your walls or in an album, a book to read, a place to lay your head, time to relax, friends, hobbies, a quiet moment and oh so much more… What does your list begin with today?

moments

Look for and cherish the moments today.

As we celebrate Mom’s 1st heavenly birthday today, I find that these moments bring a whole range of emotions.

We miss her daily. We still listen to the music she loved so much. Laugh at times when a memory floats to the surface, cry at others and wish we could hold her hand and give her a hug or serve her a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch.

It’s often the smallest of things that are the moments we treasure the most.
