I am loving playing with this new team (LOVE YOURSELF | LOVE YOUR BODY)! I love thinking of challenges and topics and ideas for the team. I love seeing when new members join. I love thinking that we can make a difference in someone's day. I love it!
On a bit of a sadder note, I went and saw my grandmother yesterday. She's not doing great. It just breaks my heart. She is in a different nursing home now. She is in a hospital type bed all the time now. In her last home she had a regular room and she stayed out in the common area all the time laugh and dancing through the halls. Now she is forever in a fetal position and doesn't laugh or goof or look at you like you're crazy, or shock everyone in the room by throwing out a cuss word unexpectedly. She's always been so full of life and so to watch her life waning is hard. SHe has been living with alzheimer's and dementia for 10 years now so we are blessed and thankful for that much time.
She is one I have learned a lot from. She has always worked hard to take care of her family. Family always meant a lot to her and always came first. She wasn't afraid to laugh out loud or dance or be silly. Life to her was worth living and living well and not for holding back worried about what others may think. I will always appreciate that and be so very very grateful she was a part of my life. Thinking of her will always bring a smile to my face. Always. She is such a gift.
