Fear hiding inside our heart Facing us to look within To search for new ways of being Fear instilled its ugly self Right back alongside our soul Taunting us to give in to it Fear put back in its place Rising above the negativity With love and laughter A new day born without fear
Love Burning brightly inside my heart Gently holds the strings together Protecting them from despair It sparkles like glow worms Small dots glowing in the night Warming my bloody veins Filling them with patience Fired up to face anything Any blip on the human horizon No match for the Love inside my heart
Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way we cope with it is what makes the difference. LOVE ~ the most powerful force in the world.
Love Waiting with open arms Watching out for you Standing still in the breeze Sails through your heartstrings Electrifying anticipation The tempest of your heart It blows over You feel lost Your love is in the wind
Life It begins with a sexually transmitted act And, it is a terminal disease Some days it gets in your way Ebbing and flowing its own direction Sparing little regard to what you had planned It wanders along a winding road Allowing you to hold the rudder If only you will Begging you too steer the…
If anyone needs to stop by and smell a few of them, please feel free to swing by! So many of my friends are working so hard, they hardly ever have time (make time?) to stop and smell their own, or anyone else’s roses; ‘This is the price of success’, many say. What is success if all it…
A fellow blogger, Worrywarts guide… led me to the YouTube clip below (thank you). It catapulted me into a ‘reconsider my various mantras’ mode, such as ‘you live until you die’ and ‘live every day as if it’s your last, just in case it is’. And then it made me wonder how many days until…
Nothing left to say, other than I’m glad to be alive!
My days are starting to look a bit like this! I do a lot of walking around in circles, up and down the stairs to the bedroom, back to the office or kitchen, wondering why. If I was a resident in aged care, I would be labelled as wandering, rather than a person simply looking for something…
Yolanda’s story was first posted on Global Dementia Voices, October 11, 2012 by Kate Swaffer. I felt it important to highlight the stories from that blog here, as it simply didn’t grow wings, and the stories of people with dementia, or illness leading to symptoms of dementia are important in teaching us all to better…
A few weeks ago I felt broken after a crisis… and many of you sent me your support here, via email and on Facebook. Thank you. It seems to have been one of the greatest tests of my emotional ability to recover my heart and soul. Ever. And in a strange sort of way, on searching for the positives,…
Todays blog is full of quotes for the people who have touched my life in one way or another, who have made me smile when I felt like crying, and who have helped me see the glass half full on the days that I forget to. And to remind you I really appreciate your friendship. We rarely get…
These images came to me via email, and I have no idea where they came from, but they are so beautiful I wanted to…
This is more true for the husbands, wives, parents, daughters, sons or friends who care for a loved one living with a diagnosis of dementia, because as the disease progresses, it could be we become a whole lot less lovable. Most of the blogs I read written by adult children caring for a parent with…
