What will you choose to see?

CAREGIVER NOTE:

The niggle is back. He has a worry and it’s pre-occupying his mind day and night. He still hasn’t been able to come to a resolution that he feels is workable. Adding to his frustration is the new phone he insisted on getting. Too many buttons, apps and such — but it’s what he wanted.

Light the way!

CAREGIVER NOTE:

We’ve discovered that sometimes the bigger is better. Like blankets. Shirts. Soda containers. 🙂 The selection may seem odd, but it does bring comfort to snuggle under a blanket that one can pull up over your head and wrap around you a little more tightly during an afternoon snooze or overnight. Shirts with long sleeves. No T-s, but button down the front types. Soda – 2 liters all the way now. He enjoys being able to pour out the amount he wants and refill as needed. He also enjoys getting his own afternoon snack from the selection available on the kitchen island.

It’s still a lot about independence and the old niggle of not being to drive has reared its head for another round. Hoping the “rabbit hole” doesn’t get any bigger today.

Instead of juggling it all, take it one thing at a time today.  

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Some days you just have to take a step back and let things flow in a different direction. The routine may take a different turn — tomorrow, you might be able to readjust or need to make changes to accommodate new needs. Remember to BREATHE!

Celebrate your successes daily. 

Never give up on anybody and that includes yourself.  Dieter F Uchtdorf

Start your week with seeing the good in your day.  

Be sure to look at yourself in the mirror today and say, “I love you.”  

Make it happen.

Celebrate all the good this day brings your way. 

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Listen to their stories… good things may come from them. Everyone likes to be heard and seen.
