Okay

Today finds me okay. Dad was supposed to have physical therapy, but it was a comedy of errors, starting with no gas, and we just came back home and rescheduled. Dad is doing much better getting outside and walking longer distances and getting more sun.

One Tough Week

Wow, I survived the week. I am glad to be alive and the family also. Have a great weekend.

Getting There

As you know, caregiving is a very demanding, draining job. It is the most rewarding job I have ever had. I need to remind myself that I need time outs. Not just for me, but for the benefit of my parents. I have really seen in the last few weeks that timeouts are so important. And they really benefit, they benefit everyone. I think I am going to put up reminders on my text to plan the timeouts.

A Great Day

I am learning. Prayers have really helped. I cannot control everything in my environment. I am working on my anxiety, I believe that the more I exercise the more I can help myself.

Thank you Lord for a great day!

Frustrated!

Where do I begin. You try to help your parents, and it's probably harder than dealing with my kids when they were younger. Am I perfect? By no means. But you feel like a lone wolf.

Prayer is helping tremendously, to be more conscious of doing it, not just in times of need. You can really recite the Serenity Prayer.

Lord, help me in the right direction. Lift my parents to be cooperative, and me too!
