My mother dancing at a Breast Cancer Awareness "Pink Party"
I am becoming more and more aware that we all are in a constant state of adjustment: to what life throws at us, to people who disappoint us, to misconceptions that surprise us, and to new ideas and/or new places. And watching my mother adjust to a new home, new friends, new medicines, new doctors, and a new routine gives me hope. I never dreamed my mother would transition so well in the first 2 weeks from her home of about 50 years to an apartment in assisted living in Memphis. She is homesick, of course, but she is trying to adjust. It's not what she chose, not what she bargained for, but there it is. And having Lewy Body Disease is certainly not a disease selection she would have chosen. But she is a fighter and she is a "pusher througher". Something I hope to be able to be when my chips are down. Some things you just cannot change or reverse but you can adjust ! "For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." Mathew 6:8
