Next: Rise, Blind, String
Mar 13 2013 in Community Caregiving Journal by Denise
Our next three words for our Community Caregiving Journal are:
Rise
Blind
String
You can write about each separately in three separate posts. You can write about all three in one post. You can write sentences using all three words.
In essence, you can write about the words in the way that feels right for you.
Here’s how our Community Caregiving Journal work: Every Wednesday, I’ll post three new words for you to write about. Don’t worry about keeping up every week if that seems too difficult. Just write about any of the words whenever you can.
Any member of Caregiving.com can contribute. When you write posts for our Community Caregiving Journey, select “Community Caregiving Journal” as the category. I’ve recorded a quick video which shows you how to start your blog and join our Community Caregiving Journal here.
Need help posting to the site? Just send me a private message through the site or send me an email. Not a member of Caregiving.com? Just join here. Worried about the privacy of your family and your caree? Simply create your account with a user name that describes you but isn’t your real name (like ejourneys).
Our journal complements your blog posts about your day. Keep posting updates about your situation, including the challenges and successes, in your own blog.
(Note: We’ll continue the conversation about each week’s three words in our Three-Word Journaling class, available through our CarePASS. To purchase yours, just go here.)

I keep writing the 3 words down but keep getting to busy with work and back and forget to follow up on them

When I rise up in the morning, I feel so blind to the real world of Grandma’s pain or thinking because she doesn’t share with me. I feel like I am just following or allowing her to string me along not always knowing where we are going but knowing there will be an end.

I blind to the fears and anxiety of caregiving. Would I be enough? I rose to the challenge however and met the fears head on. One by one I accomplished the tasks, first learning what they were, how to do them, and to string them together for a guide line to follow. Day by day, task by task this journey has been to rise, to blind my myself to the belief by others it would be impossible to do, and to string the tasks into a woven rope that would pull us to safety.

We String together our lives through friendships, internet, marriages and children to try and Rise above our own hatred, anger and pain to only be Blind to the troubles in those we care for and love. When we show we care for others, we prove we care for ourselves.
