Lose yourself in the service of love this season. 

CAREGIVER NOTE:

New health issue to deal with. Hoping an upcoming scan will give us better news.

This reminder is worthy of sharing again…..

Which of the many miracles you’ll experience today will you remember the most?

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.

Make the time in your busy day to count a few and fill your heart with gratitude. (image credit: quotefancy.com)

What cherished threads will you add to your tapestry of life today?

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Find the bright side! Listen to the stories, laugh often and celebrate everything you possibly can — because tomorrow may not be open to as many opportunities as the fog continues to grow a little thicker.

Feel with your heart, express with kind words and give with your all.

CAREGIVER NOTE:
We got a walk in yesterday. He really enjoyed the cool fall air and the slight breeze on his face. He chose to extend the walk and go in a different direction and loved having the options. The increased time outside improved his outlook for the remainder of the day. Hoping we’ll have a few more days to do so before it gets too cold and icy that he won’t be able to navigate things safely this winter.

Have a happy tune in your heart today!​

Enjoy a chuckle or two today.  

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Another conversation about cell phones last evening. Not sure if he just wants something in his pocket to carry around and feel connected to the world with or if it’s another passing conversation because there’s money involved and he doesn’t want to have a monthly bill to pay. He has a cell phone, but it’s a really old one and doesn’t have the features he’s been talking about wanting. I’m sure we’ll be revisiting this conversation and the driving conversation again soon.

Find and nurture one of your many “treasures” today.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Very lucid sort of day. Discussions about finances, health care and more. Decision made to get a new pair of glasses. Nixed the idea of a new smartphone since he rarely uses one and mine or T’s is almost always handy. A near “race” around the cul-de-sac between man and dog. Dog won, and the man got his cardio in for the day and was happy.
