One Day at a time

One of the upside things of this disease is that it forces you to take one day at a time. It is heartbreaking if you look back and compare him now to what he once was. It is equally fruitless to think about the future because you know the disease's progress. Instead you have to focus on this moment, this day. All in all that is not a bad thing.

Decisions

This week I have billeted artists for a local music festival. At first I wondered if it would be too much for my husband and then if it would be too hard for those billeted but I have to say both have worked out wonderfully. I shouldn't be surprised. The sensitivity it takes to be a good musician exhibits itself in other areas as well and both could see behind the present state to the giant that lives within and while my hsuband could not initiate conversations he certainly responded positively to the guests' stories. More importantly they made him laugh, always a good thing.
