@nadine514 , welcome to the group. And yes i have had a lot of what you are talking about, I've been in numerous locations where 1 on 1 has helped and have learned a few tricks that work besides prayer, i thank god every day I'm above ground another day to make someone smile and maybe i can pass on something that will brighten their day. I am also a survivor of a nasty brain tumor, cancer to boot, no cancer last checks, but god. and have had to learn to think of what i wanted to say, sometimes that takes a minuet, i ask them to be patient. most are and some just get frustrated. i loose focus on thoughts and a lot of times leave things not finished. i quit brow beating myself somewhat that helps. feel free to call me , 434-298-7117. my doctors told me a lot of the same but have developed a rhythm that kind of works for me. ill be 69 next month, had some great news today, heart is going strong. have a Blessed day.
