Changes and more changes!

I am sure that all my readers are aware that change is the only certainty in life!

Well I have just had to change the date for the Carers of Loved ones with Dementia workshop. Had so much interest "Wow what a great idea!" but just not enough people booked in. So instead of this Sunday 4th October it's now Sunday 8th November.

This workshop is designed to help take away the uncertainty, pain and grief that carers experience when a family member or close friend slides remorselessly into dementia of any kind.

Tomorrow the 2nd October is my wedding anniversary and I will celebrate with my husband, knowing that it means nothing to him as he fixates on the tissue in his hands, folding it ever smaller, unfolding and refolding it.

I will choose to remember the best of the 25 years we have shared and tell him stories about the good times; the children, grandchildren, sailing and narrow boating that he loved so much.

By remaining busy, seeing two clients, lunching with a girl friend (always good for a giggle) as well as spending an hour or so with Peter, will mark the day for me in a very positive way....as I flow with my ever changing life.

Embrace the changes, roll with punches and laugh as much as you can.
