JMA312's Journal, 25 Jul 10

New wireless router installed by the cable guy, so I should be good to go! It is nice to just turn on the computer and have it come up without having to go unplug, replug, wait and try it again if first you don't succeed!
Today is a good day, yesterday was a good day also (had to work part time,but that went ok, surprise!). It is so much better when you have daily 'talks' with yourself reminding me, that 'I am ok, I am going to do what is in my control and ability to do and that is all I can do'!

Brought my parents (alzheimers & parkinsons) shopping, for hair cuts and dinner yesterday also. LOL, now I know why I had 2 boys a year apart, it was to help prepare me for taking my parents places. My mom still knows me and dad, but forgets he is ill and she acts like a 2 year old sometimes and dad still has his mind but had difficulties moving so yesterday getting my parents out reminded me what it was like when I had to get my 2 & 3 year old to get ready to go out, but I just took my time and enjoyed being with them. In the past the stress might have played with my mind and body but not yesterday, it was a good day.

So glad to hear you had a nice day w/ them yesterday! ( been there - and can feel your stress - even if it's only in reality of the moment.) This is only a season in our lives, Joyce. And one day - we will both be glad we did what we knew to do - and loved them throughout their lives. None of us will live forever, obviously - but we value and honor people when we can stay in the moment - and love them for real. Getting them ready - taking them out - getting their basic needs met w/ a haircut - PURE LOVE !!! (you make my heart smile, friend - you really do.) Thanks for being YOU!!!
