I enjoy working in the garden too! I would like to have a larger space but for now I am working towards an indoor sprout garden. At my previous home I grew fruit trees, veggies and flowers.

Listening is the key to caregiving. I worked in my younger years as a CNA in extended care facilities and took care of my mother for 15 years after a stroke. Later in life, I studied under the Stephen Minister (SM) and provided Christian caregiving. "By listening, reflecting, offering the ministry of presence, and giving a safe non-judgmental place to express difficult feelings, peace and comfort is provided to the care receiver in the midst of their life's storms." (SM)

Spend July 4th alone in NYC, but small victory encouraged myself to go out twice for neighborhood walks.

That’s a great way to get fresh air, to see people and maybe even meet some. Good exercise as well. It turns habitual as well, the more you enjoy it. That’s great!

I baked cookies and shared with friends at Starbucks including the baristas. Challenge, I was disappointed by a friend who touts himself as an excellent handyman but failed to show up for a job at my 93y/o mother’s house.

Baking is such get generous gift. I’m Sure that was a welcomed one. Sorry about the handyman friend. Hopefully there’s a good explanation.
