Some days I fight against the things I cannot change .  I cannot change that dementia is slowing taking away my grandfather.

And I hate that.

And I struggle.

Then I look for the blessing, and I keep looking until I find it.  Otherwise, I’d lose sight of the good things in life.

Grandpa is here, he is sharing stories of his life we never knew.  This is reminding me to share with my children stories they have never heard about me as well.

My children are going with me to visit Grandpa, and that is a blessing as well.

What are some things in your life you can change?  What are some things you cannot?  Can you find a place where letting what be is OK?  Are you making the changes that you can? 

hugs and jelly kisses,
