How Are You COPING?
Coping:
The Many Faces of Love and Care
I saw the need for this book. People around me are caregivers. Their lives are rarely easy, but they COPE. Personality plays a role, and reality reigns.
Read twelve different short stories about caregivers and a quick novella about a long-distance caregiver. Think about the man who runs away on his motorized vehicle. See how the neglected daughter cared for her mother with care and compassion.
The book cover shows that there is a rainbow, and you are not alone. How did they do it? Learn from their experiences. Look for the rainbows.
This book is not a medical book, but twelve true stories about men and women who cared about their relatives and friends with love and understanding.

New 4 You!
It’s hot in Texas. REALLY HOT, but better than other parts of our country. Politics, raging rivers, skies with more than clouds. The weather doesn’t seem to be polite this summer. Will you take a vacation? Regardless of where you are, others are struggling, as well.
Do you hesitate to take vacation with the long lines at airports? Do you miss friends because you are tired of the brouhaha throughout our country? In writing something for this month, I’m grumpy. So I’m sharing some of my frustration. But evening is near. I’m looking for a walk near dark. We all need to slow down and look around us. Let’s look for joy.
I hope, when you read my post today, it will help you see that no matter how we feel about the weather, life goes forward. Enjoy it, if you can. Or get on an airplane to see your friends and family. Try to have fun. Stop that crabbiness. Weigh the pluses and minuses. My bet is you want to find joy at home. Maybe next year will be better.
So do you even remember where you were last year? Let’s give the here and now a big smile.
Ugh! Did I really say that? Maybe it will make you smile.
