Hi, @billchitwood Your post reminded me again of something with my wife. When it was a very special occasion, she could muster the energy to make it that day. However, the anxiety leading up to it and the exhaustion for the three days following were incredibly tough on her. Our favorite holiday was Thanksgiving and at first, she could make it the day, then half, then an hour, but always surprised me with her ability to make some hidden energy to do it. Not so for Christmas or other days.
With her phone, I did program speed dial for the few numbers she used most, like our kids, my cell, and her best friend. It helped stop the misdials and she could remember I was 1, daughter was 2, etc.
Strength, Courage, & Peace
