a couple of thoughts:

Heard a great show/podcast/radio on NPR, "What's Health Got To Do With It?" Last weekends discussion was about how helpful nature is while we are caregiving! "Nature Deficit Disorder" it was jokingly called. When you need that break as a caregiver, just take some time and look out the window and see nature. It helps!
