Tonight we watched "I'll Be Me" about Glen Campbell's Alzheimer's diagnosis and how his wife, family, friends, and fans supported him. In his most vulnerable moments, people were kind. We need more of this! youtu.be/CC374jwyrkM?... #Alzheimers #dementia #caregiving #kindness #vulnerability #watch

I stand for democracy. I stand with Ukraine. I pray for peace.

TODAY….. Support small businesses only. Pay cash only. Economic boycott. Enjoy your day!

Fun activity of winter sowing today. Planted herb and flower seeds for the spring. #dementia #caregiving #gardening #wintersowing #feelingproductive

I greatly respect Doug O'Donnell. He is an amazing servant leader. This is another loss for US civil service. I also worked with Melanie Krause who will replace him. She is very talented. I hope that she continues to protect taxpayer data from abuses. #IRS #servantleaders #civilservants

Finished my cowl today. First color work project. It’s not perfect but I love it. 😍 Warm Heart kit from Mountain Meadow Wool. Designed by Hannah Miller - Windblown Fibers #knitting #knitsky #colorwork #hearts #showmeyourknits

Living with dementia has highs and lows. Today Carl had lots of highs - chair yoga (1st time), singing to Roberta Flack songs, and playing ping pong both singles and doubles. I love days like this! #dementia #caregiving #seniorfitness #musictherapy #pingpong #livinglife

Joined a friend for an amazing evening featuring music from the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Joni Mitchell, Linda Rondstadt, Carole King, Jackson Browne, The Doors and more. My Beloved tapped and sang along. What joy!! #dementia #musictherapy #60smusic #70smusic #laurelcanyon #thebirchmere

covidtests.gov Americans need to order their free COVID tests before President Trump discontinues this program. #covidtests #free #ordernow #lisingourrights #HHS

A powerful read, especially in these times when we are again struggling with what it means to be an American and our power to reason and moral vision feels threatened. Let us be advocates for democracy and freedom. #booksky #books #freedom #slavery #emancipation #inclusion #diversity

Being a good caregiver is sometimes knowing when to ask for help. It’s something that I am still learning. Grateful for these helpers. ❤️❄️ #dementia #caregiving #snow #helpers #gratitude

Love the birds visiting in the snow! ❤️ #birds #snow

This week I’ve helped hubby get ready for Valentine’s Day. He always loved to celebrate love. So I took him to the card shop and the clerk helped him pick out and sign a card. Then we went to the florist and he ordered a bouquet. Lastly we made these silly little gnomes. #dementia #independence
