Happy New Year
May 2009 be a wonderful year for you.
It’s cold here in New Hampshire (3 degrees F.) and windy as I write this.
But we’re looking forward to a grand 2009.
Have you set any goals in your Alzheimer’s caregiving life?
- Find someone to relieve you ocasionally with your duties.
- Discover something humorous each day to bring laughter into your Alzheimer’s related life…and that of the person you’re caring for.
- Find a support group in your area or online, if you don’t have one.
- Attend Alzheimer’s related seminars if they’re offered nearby.
- Find time just for yourself to relax and relieve the stress.

Great goals. It’s so easy to get into such a routine and not stop to think through and be proactive at taking these kind of steps. On top of that, many feel guilty for doing something for themselves. But we are re-energized and recharged and able to bless those we love more when we take these steps.
