I love reading quotes that are anonymous ...mostly because someone thought that a statement or a thought needed to be in print, because it mattered. Whether it mattered to them, to someone that they knew or whatever the situation was, just think about this one for a minute.

Living in Southwest Florida for the past 18 years, I know a little something about the aging process. People in Southwest Florida are an amazing bunch. For the most part they are in better health and can run rings around their counterparts up north. I think it is because they get out more and are more active, and the weather usually works in their favor.

But, when challenges strike, there is a lot of frustration and I have heard "We worked for the ability to retire, and I never thought this would happen" or "these "Golden Years" sure aren't what they are cracked up to be."

Every day you wake up you have one more chance to make your circumstances better, as well as your attitude about your situation. Let's put it this way, don't think for a minute that you don't have a purpose on this earth that is greater than what you may perceive it to be today.

You may not know why you are going through a hardship right now, but there are blessings in your life that you aren't paying attention to, because the negative energy has gotten ahold of you. Shake it loose. Think positive. Be grateful. What have you learned to be grateful for through your challenges as a patient or care partner? Tell us about them.
