Make every smile you share count!

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Friendships — what fun it was to see a friendship renewed after a few years of not seeing each other. We’re hoping the visits will be frequent. What a blessing it was to see both of them laugh and reminisce and just enjoy the company and rekindling of a friendship that has lasted for a good number of years and through the loss of their wives. Despite the sadness of that shared experience the smiles lingered throughout the visit and as they parted company with plans to meet again soon.

it’s a yes day.

What will be your inspiration today?

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Old friends can certainly brighten the day He’s been so reluctant to meet up with an old friend over the course of the last several months — there’s been an excuse of one sort or another to not get together. Yesterday’s call was different and last evening at dinner, he even offered the idea of going out for lunch with his friend. Thrilled to have heard it come from him! If he follows through, it may open some additional doors for future visits and opportunities. Fingers crossed!

Make someone’s day a little better and brighter.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

The weather has been so nice lately…. and we’ve been able to spend more time outside. He isn’t ready to commit to any activities other than a short walk around the cul-de-sac, and he’s been cutting that walk a little shorter of late. He’s getting winded a little sooner no matter how slow we go… so I’m not sure if we’ll be walking or he’ll be riding by the end of summer. I’m hoping for the former — and not the latter. Hopefully, the garden plans will spark a little more interest and desire to try to help once the water lines have been marked and we can begin tilling.
