A family caregiver, Donna, once told me that she only developed her green thumb after her caregiving journey began. Before caregiving, Donna’s plants were brown and lifeless. During caregiving, her plants bloomed.
What have you grown since caregiving began for you?
Think:
–How have your skills and talents grown?
–How have your relationships grown?
–How has your wisdom grown?
You are different–better–because of caregiving. You have grown. You are green, in the prime position to make the most of your life. Celebrate it.
