Life's lessons

A reader responded to my blog about skiing wondering what that had to do with living graciously with dementia, and my answer: maybe everything. We can take the learning from any experience in life and apply it to our larger life. Robert Fulghum demonstrates this in his charming book, "All I Really Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten." I love analogies, and all of life can be an analogy for me in how I can better live my life in general. My analogy in the skiing blog: when I find myself in a difficult situation and do not know the answers for how to resolve the situation; seek answers from qualified and reliable sources. That applies as much to living with dementia as it does to a smaller situation.
