 JOAN’S WEEKEND BLOG – MARCH 1-2, 2008 – BEING GRATEFUL Considering the emotionally draining Although I have lost so much, I look around at others and realize I have to appreciate and hold onto what I still have. My husband knows who I am As you can imagine, I am completely exhausted I wish everyone a pleasant and peaceful weekend. Feedback to joan@thealzheimerspouse.com |
week I have had, you must wonder how I could write a Blog on being grateful, 
but my afternoon lunch with my “support groupie girls” 
went a long way to calming me down and showing me “the bigger picture.” 
; remembers he loves me, and tells me so all of the time. He forgets a name here and there, but he knows who all of his friends are
; he is able to handle his own personal care
; he is able to help around the house by making the salad
and folding the clothes
. He does all of the grocery shopping 
for me. We are still able to go out socially – enjoy a movie
; a dinner; the company of friends. Neither of us knows how long this will last or what we will lose next, so we need to enjoy and cherish every moment we have together. 
from this week’s emotional torture
, and plan to do NOTHING this weekend, except my radio segment.
