#194122 - 11/17/09 02:52 PM National Caregivers Month is here
LGood67334 Junior Member Registered: 06/05/04 Posts: 89 Loc: California	Did you know that November is National Caregivers Month? Whether you are a caregiver for a spouse, parent, child, special needs child, or yourself, I'd love to know how you are celebrating. What are you doing to carve out some time and honor yourself? How are you a caregiver to your step-children? B. Lynn Goodwin www.writeradvice.com Author of You Want Me to Do WHAT?

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	This is funny that I should read this now. I'm gearing up to go spend the night with Dad tonight. It's my turn. I haven't thought of a way to celebrate that I'm a caregiver, but why not. Maybe Ross and I will go to dinner to celebrate becasue we are both doing some caregiving for our fathers. Hey, I like that idea. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I have been a caregiver for my sister, my DIL, and even my ex and to me it should be caregivers day, every day. A month is not nearly enough to honor them. I am so in awe of anyone like Anno, who does this daily, 24/7, and still finds a way to lead a fairly normal life. I bow down to those who give so much of themselves without reward. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	Aw, shucks, gosh darn. I am blushing and smiling and tearing up all at the same time! I feel blessed, in so many ways, and I am happy that I am mature enough to not go down the wrong path. I also will admit that there are days that I do grouch and go to the dark side. But it's not much fun there - I would rather be happy. And there is reward, Chatty. I feel happy that I am able to give of myself to someone, without resentment. Another of my greatest rewards is sharing myself through my blog and with our story. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I bow down to all caregivers, too. And there is a certain consolation in doing what's right. It makes a person feel good inside, proud of themselves, and stronger, somehow. Kudos to the caregivers of the world! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Anne, I totally believe that it's in giving that we receive. However, I can certainly understand Anno and others like her having those tough days. We're only human. Everyone needs a break in the action every now and then. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
