SEPTEMBER! WOW! Summer is almost over and we are about to kick off another season of great memories.
Life is short, live it.
Love is often rare, grab it.
Fear is a mind killer, face it.
Anger, hate, resentment & jealousy is bad, let go of it.
Summer memories can be sweet & long lasting, don’t you agree? We have just enough time left to store beautiful ones in our nervous system before we move to another season. Make them and cherish them. I would like to share one of my favorite memories with you.
My mom was diagnosed with dementia in 2007 and as a caregiver to an Alz patient I have grown. What I have learned has impacted my life in so many ways. (Yep, I know, but I have discovered age does not stop us from learning. Even with a track record of being here 7 decades, I’m still growing) I have memories of all the beautiful people and their contributions that God has been gracious in sending to help me and inspire me to be and do all that He has for me to care for, especially during challenging days. I remember the many times He has even orchestrated special moments with her to calm my heart that have left awesome memories and yes, I am thankful for the gift of writing what I know for sure that He has given me. I am convinced we know what we are here to do and once we accept that (big or small) or (as hard as it may be) we’re free to move on with our mission.
