In regards to talking with people - I find that I will talk to anyone and say practically anything that comes to mind without first thinking about it and considering whether it is a good idea. Impulsiveness seems to be one of my traits now. If feeling well enough, I can whip through things similar to someone with ADHD. Other times, I'm wiped out and laid out on the bed. I can never predict which will happen when.
Evaluating my health, I find that I am not doing so well. My blood sugars remain high. I think I am watching my diet, but guess I need to start writing down what I eat. I am not exercising enough. My husband gave me a personal DVD player and dance DVD's to help me increase my level of activity. I wore a pedometer yesterday, wanting to see how many steps I took. Compared to the 2,000 or whatever steps we should be taking each day, my mere 465 steps paled considerably. So, now I know I need to increase my walking.
I am so fortunate to be able to continue with my writing. It allows me an outlet to share my thoughts and frustrations and to keep track of my progress or lack thereof.
The coming days of 2008 hold great promise, even with dementia. I am not crazy enough to believe that every day will be great, but I do know that as long as I keep a good outlook on life, each day will be good.
