There is a smile in every day.

Find your moments today!
CAREGIVER NOTE:
Things were a bit more “off” than on yesterday. Not sure if it was the anticipation of seeing one of his sons that lives out of state or something else. He was up about midnight dressed and ready for he didn’t know what. We visited for a few minutes, got him a little something to eat before tucking him back into bed. Hopefully, he’ll be feeling better today – and in good spirits for most of it.
and if a thousand reasons doesn’t seem possible, begin with just one.
Remember. You matter.
CAREGIVER NOTE:
Short term memory was totally missing yesterday. He couldn’t remember having eaten an hour previously or how he managed to get dressed. He didn’t remember having called or spoken to a family member just a few minutes previous to asking to make the call again. It was a pretty tough day.
Share kindness throughout your day.
Hope. It’s closer than you think
CAREGIVER NOTE:
We found a large print copy of a book he wanted to read. Yesterday’s experiment of using his new readers and seeing if he could read the print was a success — his interest didn’t hold for too long, but it was a step forward. YIPPEE!
Stay the course

CAREGIVER NOTE:
Still not wanting to try something “new.” We’d talked about doing a few different things, made a few plans, gathered the materials and made time in the day — but when it comes down to doing it, he’s not ready to try it. We’ll keep looking for that opening. Maybe this week….
