    I am starting this collection of words that can help us thru this journey...two of my favorites so far are:
    1. If you have seen one alz patient, you have seen 1 alz patient.
    2. "Don't argue, the disease always wins"

    Anyone have more????

    Never second guess yourself. Make decisions based on best information at the time. If you make a mistake, adapt, adjust, move on.

    I have a few: It don't matter.

    Don't sweat the small stuff (too bad "small stuff" isn't the same for all of us)

    Will it matter 100 years from now? ("No, but I'm here right now, and I'm ready to explode.") And that's the truth today.

    "I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands"..Isaiah 49:15b-16a

    "Cast all your anxiety (cares) on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

    Zibby, I'll add to yours, "Dont sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff"
    2. When you go to bed, give your troubles to God, he's up all night anyway.
    3. Relax, God is in Charge.
    4. Worrying will not empty to day of its troubles, it will empty tomorrow of its strength.
    5. God does not give us what we can handle, He gives us the strength to handle what we are given. (my favorite)

    "Good Morning, this is God. I will be handling all of your problems today. And I won't be needing your help. . . . so you relax and have a good day."

    I've been taking a very intensive (3 days a wk., half a day each for five weeks) course of training called Dialectic Behavioral Therapy....it is designed to help us develop coping skills and and a "middle mind" set of behaviors. To sum it up as others have said......IT IS WHAT IT IS. Acceptance of what we cannot change. I can only change how I react and feel toward a situation or person.

    Stuntgirl, I *really* need your words: "I can only change how I react and feel toward a situation or person." Intellectually, I've known this; it's the "doing" I need to be reminded of. Thank you.

    A few years ago my husband was at the Alzheimer's Public Policy Forum and told one of our congressmen that he had Alzheimer's disease. The congressman told him to "hang in there". At first my husband thought he was rude & uncaring but now "hanging in there" is his reply when anyone asks how he's doing.

    That reminds me of what my welder son said when he visited from Nelson a few days ago: "Well, Mom, I guess you just have to keep plugging away."

    Today is the gift...that's why it's called the present.
