"When we keep choosing between right and wrong, we spend our time sorting life rather than living it. " Mark Nepo
As humans we seem wired to consider whether something or someone is right or wrong. We spend countless hours trying to prove we are right, countries go to war to prove they are right, relationships are strained because someone does something we think is wrong. The problem with that is we cut ourselves off from the goodness of life. Life is about experiencing our experiences -- rather than labeling the experience. Each person responds to and chooses to act differently in life -- Carl Jung called this an innate quality based on which combination of the 4 different personality types we are. We might have much more to gain by trying to understand each other, rather than by deciding the other person is just wrong.

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.
