Hi. I guess if you’re reading here, it’s because dementia is touching your life in some way. I want to share something with you that has recently been very freeing for me.

Be decisive. The ability to make a decision is a power that you still have. The feelings that you have about being helpless and hopeless – those feelings are lies. Take your power in hand and make a decision today. It can be as simple as deciding to rest, deciding to do something you enjoy, deciding to smile at someone when you don’t feel like it.

Decide to be in the moment and look around the space you are in right now. Focus on something in that space that brings you happiness. Let gratitude for that thing/person overwhelm you and be your reward. And, by the way, being grateful is good for you. It can heal.

Let me know about your decision. I am praying for you.
