This SERIOUSLY cheered me up!

Was feeling small & powerless, unable to help two older loved ones who are in particularly challenging places.   To pull myself out of the depths, called two friends - good gab with the one, having tea later with the other.  Bucked me up a lot.

Feeling chersier (chur-C-ur, as my dear old Mum would say).  Took a moment to ponder how important it is to drench folks facing dementia with activities, sent loving healing wholesome thoughts off to my beloveds, then looked up "dementia & activity" which lead me to this wonderful listing - 101 Activities to do with family friends clients dealing with dementia!
