Hi Leah - good to hear form you again. Ahh a cruise. I have always wanted to go on one and to the places you will visit too. It sounds like just what everyone needs after a long winter - mine seemed especially long this year.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us; they always inspire. It must be frustrating being so changed. But I suspect you still have the same heart and soul and having those is the true gift.
Living in the moment can be so difficult, no matter what the circumstances. It is a true test of our concepts about control and Who might really be in it!
Thanks again - and have a great trip!
It will be a great trip! No matter how much or how little you remember later, you will enjoy it at the time. You are blessed to be able to live for now. So many people can't live in the present, always worrying about what happened in the past, or what might happen in the future, so consider this a wonderful gift.
You are so right. It's funny that you call it a gift...I had just written a poem where I talk about it being a gift--not the title you would expect dementia to be given. That poem should come out on the blog next week. Thanks for commenting. I look forward to spending time with you on the cruise.
