Time moves faster the older we get. Instead of racing around trying to get it all done, let us practice slowing down.
There will always be one more thing. Time is one thing we cannot get more of.
Let us savor the moment we have, now.
Let us include our loved one with dementia.
When possible, instead of care
giving, let us serve as a care
partner. Anne Basting, founder of TimeSlips, creates potential for care-partner relationships when she writes, "By engaging people with memory loss in creative activities, their focus shifts to invention and spontaneity instead of memory and their limitations."

When we're younger, we move faster. There's much to look forward to with a heaping buffet of opportunity on our plates.
While our world has changed a lot this year and last, let us take time to look around, to digest what's around us. Let us consider the opportunities. After all, we can't turn back the clock. We'll never be as young as we are, today.
I plan to take time for to do a few FUN summer activities for my birthday month.
Anyone up for a hike?
