Good Morning,
It is a beautiful day here in sunny Phoenix, Az. I ran my 2 miles, and got some house work done and it is still early. Times have changed since my father in law died. It was sometimes hard to go running, or taking care of my self. My whole purpose was to try and give dad as normal life as possible. Of course there are always reasons that we don't take care of our selves. My husband is not working and so I am pulling extra shifts on the ambulance. That means less time to sleep, and exercise.

I want to tell you that it is important to take care of your self, because if you don't how do you think you can keep up with your other responsibilities. It is important to exercise every day for your body, and important to get your sleep for your mind. It is important to pray for your soul.

Care givers do so much taking care of so many other people that they forget about them selves. Remember that their is respite care to help you out. And there is support groups to help you vent or gain insights. There are so many wonderful sites on the computer to help you with more knowledge on Alzheimer's .

I met the author Stephanie Meyers yesterday, and she is so sweet. She is beautiful, and so friendly. In case you don't know Stephanie is the author of the Twilight Series. Thank you Stephanie for being so kind.

Well take care all,
Sincerely,
Marie Fostino
