The Present of the Past
In our world today, with its 24/7 news cycle and daily reports of strife, conflict, and chaos, it is often hard to pull your head out of the “present” and take a longer look to appreciate the passage and pages of time — events that make up a span of one’s life, that of those who have come before, and those who are following behind.
You Year. New You!
It’s a tradition in the new year that many people make resolutions, but I’d like to recommend that you try something new this year: Try to start several “micro-habits.”
Take Time to Celebrate!
Caregivers must learn to reinvent themselves continually, and adapt the challenges facing them on a daily basis. But you also have to take the time, and make the effort, to celebrate the small accomplishments that occur for you and your loved one daily.
