"It is the practice of returning to whatever moment that we are living now that restores us, because only when fully in each moment can we draw strength from the Oneness of things." Mark Nepo
It is human to have our thoughts be in what is next, especially in times of challenge. It is usually not so much the challenge itself that consumes our thoughts, but we let ourselves worry about what if this turns permanent or into a really bad situation. Since much of my professional training has been in the observation of human behavior, I often am aware of the actions of others around me. In a recent incident when some parcels were lost, it was instructive to me to see how differently the people responded to the incident. To some it was as if the worst thing in the world had happened; to others the mishap was treated as a problem to be solved. One negative incident does not mean we are doomed to endless negativity. Let us look for ways to stay in the moment. In that moment we are better able to see solutions.

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.
