This is a particularly welcome read after a week when I had to purchase and learn how to use new lawn care implements (lightweight enough for me, unlike those in our backyard shed--Mike's tools, which he would have used to take care of these issues, if he still could.) I hired help with the front yard, but I'd mostly just ignored the back for a long time. This week, I decided I was tired of looking at the shaggy lawn edges and overgrown shrubs--so I'm learning how to handle these things myself and feeling like I've reclaimed a small measure of control. Thanks for this reminder that there are always opportunities to grow, even in the darkness of dementia care.

Yay, Pam!!!!! I'm rooting for you! That is a BIG deal. I look forward to reading more about it from you - perhaps in a future post? ❤️
So much to learn, all of us, all of the time. Reading this post reminded me of that today.
