Aw, your reply just made my day! I’m so glad the quote had the same impact for you. It sure hit me on the head when I needed it most. Or maybe I was finally ready to understand what it meant?

I clipped it from a magazine and taped it to my bathroom mirror where it became a daily affirmation. 30+years later it’s still taped to the mirror, slightly yellowed and a different house! It moves with me…just as a reminder! Changes didn’t come all at one time but I made daily, small attitude adjustments which are now cemented in my inner core. 😉

Being a caregiver for most of us is a labor of love. But it can definitely become overwhelming at times with concern and stress, making it very easy to fall into a depression. I’ve followed some of the conversations you have in the anxiety and depression group. I’m really relieved to see you’re at the point where you are taking charge and making strides to overcome your depression. I know you’re trying to find an active therapy group near you but in the meantime it’s so wonderful to have you with us in Connect. You know you’re never alone here. I’ll be happy to pop in for a visit with you anytime!

Thanks Lori for your response to my short note. Your spirit is awesome and I look forward to reading your posts often. Do you know anything about the online caregivers support group on the 2hd and 4th Thursdays of the month? I thought I would try to join in on it in August, but don't see it on the calendar for the 2nd Thursday, only the 4th. Has anyone found this group helpful? Thanks.
