park it

Is it time for a change?  

Sometimes you just have to “park it” before you can take another breath and move forward again. Don’t waste your energy by being in a bad mood. You have the means to “fix” it within you. Pause, inhale some good thoughts and exhale the bad ones. Repeat as needed. When you feel the shift, you’re ready to move on.


CAREGIVER NOTE:

The birdfeeder is finally caught the attention of a small group of house finches. They were great entertainment for a good portion of the day. He was excited to see a male visit the feeder too.

His hip is bugging him and he wasn’t as reluctant to use the walker as he’s been the last week. We’ll see how today moves forward.

He is sundowning most evenings now.

What awesomeness will you discover today?

There’s always something good to find in the day. Despite the near sleepless nights, the longer days and having to be more flexible with some routines; the adjustment is going pretty smoothly for all of us.
Last night was a difficult night — not much sleep. But thankfully, no night terrors or “escape” attempts because he wasn’t sure of where he was.

We heard lots of stories from days gone by over the long weekend. Stories that took place all over the US and a few foreign countries — with lots of family stories interspersed here and there.

He asked questions. Got some of the answers he needed to satisfy his curiosity. Took a couple of longer walks. He also snuck in an “unauthorized” walk without the walker over the weekend. Thankfully, no falls.

Still working on finding the balance for a few things caregiver wise.
