Make the choice to serve in a cause larger than your wants, larger than yourself – and in your days you will add not just to the wealth of our country, but to its character.
For more than a decade, I have worked on behalf of Senior Citizens – I’m not yet in that category, but that doesn’t mean I can’t relate. The main focus of my work is as an advocate for vulnerable adults in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Additionally, having been the primary caregiver for my father who died from Alzheimer’s complications in 2007, I cherish my role as an Alzheimer’s Association caregiver support group Facilitator, guiding families through the difficult process of caring for their loved ones with dementia.
Irene, this is fantastic. I can’t wait to spend more time on it and read every word. This is a gift for so many people
God Bless You

One thing is for sure Mike, although I’m not an expert, I sincerely value the opportunity to contribute some sort of wisdom to our aging population – which is everyone who’s still drawing a breath! I hope other people will submit comments/suggestions to benefit the rest of us. We’re all taking it one day at a time, aren’t we? And we’re more or less creating the play book that will get us through the challenges.
Your blog is looking really GOOD!!!!!
It took me awhile to personalize my Blog. The photo on top is one I took while in Tampa, FL a few years ago while on business w/my husband. The photo shows a portion of the glass mural outside of the Children’s Museum. I keep finding new tools w/in WordPress. I’m impressed with the WordPress Blog engine which was recommended by my brother and my daughter.
I just discovered your blog. Having lived in Washington for many years, I find the articles in the Seattle Times very interesting too. I am a caregiver for my dad with Alzheimer’s though he does live in an assisted living facility. Thanks for your interesting blog.
