Some Words About Your Success

Resilience: There are some days when getting out of bed is hard, it just doesn’t seem to be the best option. Wouldn’t it be great to hide under the covers for a few days? At times, you may be slow getting up, but you always do. And, you make the best of each day.

Voice: You have a voice that advocates what’s best for your care recipient—-and you. With your voice, you make choices about your self-care and then tell family, friends, and health care professionals how they can support your self-care. And, with your voice, you speak of your care recipient’s wishes and desires about his self-care and then tell family, friends, and health care professionals how they can support your care recipient’s self-care.

Laughter: You can guffaw at the comedy that sometimes accompanies caregiving. And, you never take yourself too seriously.

Forgiveness: You’ve encountered many difficult people who have given you way too many sleepless nights. But, you forgive so you can move on to find those who help lighten your load.

Tenacity: You live with the belief that a solution to your problem exists; it might not present itself tomorrow or next or next month, but you’ll find it. 

Gratitude: Life threw you some unhittable curve balls that almost struck you out. But, life has also blessed you; you regularly give thanks for those blessings.
