Everyman/Everywoman

"There is a song at the center of my being which everyone hears," Ernest Holmes.

I was talking with a dear friend, and she said how similar are the challenges of living with dementia, living with addictions, or living with a terminal illness. I agree. The challenges and the suggestions for help and ease of the person providing care are very, very similar. My intention with this blog is to provide reliable, helpful and supportive material whichever is the situation with which you live. Knowing how similar the living situations are, perhaps we can gain insight from those dealing with something a bit different from our own situation. It is so important to live your situation the way you want to and choose to. And it is important to include fun. This weekend we have gone to an art exhibit, out to eat with friends and to a summer theater production. Including fun helps both the person giving and the person receiving care. What fun do you have planned?
