Other news, this week is the big new movie Twlight.
Just went to see Fireproof yesterday. This is a must see movie. It is about a young fireman who is good about saving people, but now has to learn how to save his marriage. And God is the center

Good Morning, It is a beautiful day here in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. I was going through the different Alzheimer's sites on line, and I hope you are taking advantage of this, and here is the thought from Alzheimer's Weekly. THE SMALLEST ACT OF KINDNESS IS WORTH MORE THAN THE GRANDEST INTENTION. I hope that you are doing well, and are getting the respite you need to keep taking care of your loved one with the terrible Alzheimer's Disease. There is nothing wrong with saying that you need help and can not do it alone. Also remember that sleep, exercise and food are real important to help you keep up your strenght. And most important of all, don't forget to pray for guidance. Don't for get to smile and have a good day.
Sincerely,

Hello,
Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that millions of people live with every day. But with this disease it also affects their loved ones besides themselves. It destroys the mind, and leaves not only the person with the disease feeling helpless but also the family member taking care of the person. It hurts deeply when a loved one forgets your name and who you are. It hurts deeply when the loved one with the disease gets angry at you, when you are only trying to help them. Don't forget that there are nursing home out there to help you out. Also there are Alzheimer support groups which are a big help. Don't forget to get on line and look up material to help you out. Places like Alzheimer's Weekly, Alzheimer's Society, OurAlzheimer's.com, TheCaregiversVoice.com, The Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's Foundation of America, and Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referal Center to name a few. I hope that my book has helped you with the realization of what it is like and opens up a door to reality to see if you are going to keep your loved one at home or put into a nursing home. Let me know what you decide, and if I have helped you at all.
Sincerely,

Hope you have been reading these different Alzheimer's sites. The thought of the week from Alzheimer's Weekly: Kindness is more than good deeds. It's an attitude, an expression, a look, and a touch. It is anything that lifts another person. C. Neil Strait. Have a great week. Remember to be an angel and practice random acts of kindness.
God Bless You,

Do you ever wonder if you are really helping anyone? Do you wonder if you have a purpose in this life? I believe that we have many different hats to wear and when we finish one project that God gives us, if we are open we will have another. When I took care of dad, that took all my time, and that was what God had planned for me to do. And when I published the Journal, I believed that God wanted that done so that, with dad's help, even thought he is gone, we could still help people. But sometimes I wonder if I am helping anyone. I guess the hardest part is trying to get this journal out there for others to see all over the United States. There are so many people out there, taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's. Some are spouses, some are daughter, or sons. Some have decided to take on the challenge at home, and some decided that it was to much for them and they asked for help from a care facility. I hope that no matter which case you fit into, that you have found something to read to help you form your decision. I am hoping that this Journal is helping someone out there. If anyone has read my book, 'Alzheimer's A Caretakers Journal' and it has helped you one way or another please let me know. I am sure that other readers would like your input also.
Thank you and have a great week.

Good Morning,
Such wonderful weather here in Phoenix, Az. Hope to see you at The South Mountain / Laveen Village's Festival Inc. & Wal Mart 37th Annual Community Craft, Health, Safety and Information Fair. I think the parade is from 10:00 to 12:00 noon. The booths are up till 3:00. Also the Alzheimer's Memory Walk is going on down town Phoenix. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Also I would love to come and share my experience taking care of my father in law.
