"A simple and non-psychopharmacological way to deal with depression: random acts of kindness. The study in the above journal found that depressed people found contentment by doing these simple things. Let us not forget to extend those random acts of kindness toward ourselves. It can be very hard being a caregiver for dementia; that is true, but it is equally true - in my opinion - that we can find blessings within the situation too. Today Dwane shared with me an interesting story that he was reading in the newspaper which I had missed. A blessing: both the sharing and the information. What blessing can you see today in your world?
