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 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

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

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

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
