Do you view life as an adventure or a drudgery? It is an important distinction. Is your life a list of "to-do's" or is it a wondrous adventure? The difference lies in our attitude. We can set the intention that our life will be an adventure, that people will bless and enhance our life, and that life will be easy and fun -- or we can expect the worst. Rarely does the worst ever happen that people worry will happen, which is why it is a good therapy technique to have people imagine the very worst possible outcome in any given scenario -- which enables them usually to see that the worst case scenario is not so bad and is something they can handle. If Helen Keller can find life an adventure with all her challenges, surely we can too. |
This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
