"February 2 is cross-quarter day, halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The sun is becoming an ever greater presence; the days are growing longer," Dr. Joan Borysenko.
We are still in the grips of winter here, but the days are getting longer. Today the sun rise was bathed in beautiful pinks against the scattered clouds. When one looks at the wintry scene outside, it is hard to imagine that spring is coming. Perhaps that is true with this disease of dementia too, sometimes the horizon before us looks so bleak that it is hard to notice the moments of beauty. This is such a harsh and cruel disease, that it is very hard to find hope within it. Last night at dinner, Dwane said, "This salad has everything you could imagine in it." Such moments of awareness are moments of beauty for which I am grateful.
