| | Indeed it is. The holidays had me feeling anxious ,overwhelmed with too much to do.
We all know that feeling.A couple of things worked well for me.
1) The upside of dementia.....Anyone caring for a 90 year old knows or will know the
difficulty of memory loss.However this year it worked out well.
I was going out to Christmas shop one evening for my Mom's present and she did
not want to stay home so I took her along she saw and tried on all her gifts ,PJ's
sweaters etc. . I had them beautifully wrapped and put them under the tree and alas on
Christmas morning she opened them with genuine surprise and was so happy that
everything fit and were exactly the colors she would have picked.
2) I got everything I would have liked...a first...though my brother in law
pointed out that sending emails and catalog photos to all left little room for
error.
3 ) Threw a small but perfectly detailed cocktail party for six close
friends who have been a part of my long life.
4)Took off for Telluride Colorado with another group of friends who
I love and enjoy immensley...bought a hot pair of ski pants,and today rose
at 7 and was on the mountain for first tracks...there we were on top of
See Forever trail and we did see forever...crusing down a beautifully
groomed corduroy trail I thanked God for my good fortune and blessings,
and for these incredible mountains,blue sky and cold winter air.
God Bless all and best wishes for a loving ,healthy and creative New Year!!!!!!
