CAREGIVER DIARIES: HOPEFUL

For the past several months, the days have been long. 

When I come home, I usually sit up late and watch something funny on TV before going to bed. 

Last night, I decided to turn in early. 

I got my laptop, opened my favorite Microsoft accessory, "Paint", and just started doodling. It was very relaxing. 

The good news I'd heard, after weeks of waiting, was like water. 

I'm more convinced now more than ever that prayer works.

God sees you, caregivers. Your efforts are, and were not in vain. Silence the noise. 

Speak up when you must. 

Don't allow yourself to be underestimated. 

Fight. 

Do what you can. 

Don't take "no" when you know a "yes" is available. 

Stick with what works. 

Embrace those who bring you comfort and good vibes. 

Stay focused.
You can't always get what you want, but when you do...
