"I have no tact except the exercise of gentleness," Oracle of Sumiyoshi.
Gentleness is an important quality in living life and in our tasks as caregivers. Over my life I have noted how much pain thoughtless and unmodulated words cause. So, in our thoughts, in our words and in our actions, let us be gentle today with ourselves and with all others. Perhaps especially let us be gentle with this caregiving situation. Let us take at least one moment today to have a gentle interaction with the person for whom we provide care.
