You Are Better Than Your Circumstances

It is easy to let our problems consume us. If we focus on our problems we become that focus. If we change our focus we open ourselves up to learn how to think differently. You have all the power!
Your situation does not define who you are. How you handle the challenges that come your way, defines who you are. I have heard that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle tangled Christmas lights. Do you know of anything that causes you more grief than tangled Christmas lights, when you finally found the energy to put them up?
That is because Christmas lights are small (usually), and the small stuff really can bug you. I laugh when I see the books about not sweating the small stuff...and it is a very important concept, but the small, daily, obnoxious stuff that we all deal with can overpower us-if we let it.
We can't let it happen. We have to believe that we have the power. We have to agree that we can make a tough situation lighter, and we have to believe it.
How we go about it, is not the same for everyone. But the human spirit is amazing. People are making lemonade out of lemons every day, and many times they don't give themselves credit for it.
Listen, if you have a recipe to make lemonade out of lemons, when it comes to coping with a disease, a physical challenge, or managing the care of someone who has all of the above, let us know what your recipe is. I think Sallycares.com could make a recipe book of all of your stories, and we need to make that book!
There are too many people struggling out there with caregiving challenges. Problems can be managed well. I can tell you that your struggle is "not for nothing." You have your story to tell, and we're here to help you manage those challenges that are wearing you out! Contact Us!

While out walking our dogs with a neighbor on a warm, autumn Sunday morning, we discussed plans for the day. She mentioned she and her husband were going to the theater that evening to hear a New Orleans jazz trombone player and his ensemble. My husband’s ears perked up, as…

Managing Medications
in Home Management
It is becoming more frequent to see medications distributed in blister packs, rather than in pill bottles. Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors. For the elderly, this packaging style can be very difficult to manage, if the person has problems with fine motor or hand coordination and/or arthritis. If you…

Do You Have Breathing Problems?
in Medical Conditions
I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living. When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens? The most common reaction to a lack of oxygen is a sensation of panic, because our brain is very smart. Our brains tell our lungs to respond with small, quick breaths to compensate for the feeling that we do not have…
