Starting the day

"One of the reasons we try to start our day with prayer -- what we place first in our time tends to pull the rest of the day with it," Rebecca Vitz Cherico.

I, too, begin my day with prayer. I know the day will contain plenty of challenges (life does, does it not?), so I begin the day with prayer -- in order for it to pull the rest of the day along with it. That is the same idea with my belief that our intention of how we want to be with this role as dementia caregiver carries our actions -- the intention carries the rest of the activities of the day. If our intention is to be gracious, we are more able to be gracious -- even when things go awry. Attitudes, intentions, prayer: they really do carry the rest of the day.
