What will you choose to fill the pages in your story in the days to come?

CAREGIVER NOTE:
It’s imaging day. Two appointments, back to back this morning. Hoping for good news and not the one that he’s ruminating on.

Nurture your best you and CELEBRATE!

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Our practice of finding something positive is paying off. I no longer need to “fish” for an answer, because he can provide quite a few at a time. As he was walking out of his bedroom yesterday and I noticed he was favoring one side as he took the next step. He piped up with, “I’m walking on my own two feet and that feels good.” His smile was broad and genuine.

What will your altimeter reading on your attitude be today?

And learn something new today!  

It’s a new day!  Delight in the opportunities that await you. 

Burn a few extra calories and wrap your arms around someone you care about today.

What if we chose to be thankful for everything?

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Give things time – Don’t rush the process. Their brains process things differently now and it seems like it will take forever for them to filter through things. It can be difficult and frustrating for everyone; but the reward is even greater when there is a meeting of the minds.

Share some good times today!  

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Shift the dynamics of the moment, if you can, by finding something that will change the mood of the moment to a more positive direction. A smile, a wink of the eye, even a small laugh can make a difference in the moment. Repeat as needed.

Be the difference in someone’s day!

Gratitude infuses hope for tomorrow
