Thought of the day Our pain changes by second, by minute, by hour. Just because you saw me going out being social. Does not validate that I now cannot leave the floor from pain. • • • • • #BNightsCRPS #CRPS #crpsawareness #crpswarrior #crpssupport #chronicpain #CRPSisReal

Weapon of the day: caregiving is like climbing a mountain. Climbing a mountain alone is dangerous. Take some buddies with you. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #caregivers #caregiversupport

Please re-Tweet #gratitude to the millions of people who — by supporting those who are living with #dementia — give without expectation, love without limitation, live without hesitation, and do good without explanation. (image via @actionhappiness) #Alzheimers #kindness #quote

Along with all the scars we acquire through #caregiving, we accumulate hard earned lessons that — when we are able — deserve to be shared with those who are embarking on their own caregiving journey. #mentalhealth #Alzheimers #dementia #quote

Please re-Tweet for every caregiver who has felt overwhelmed, inadequate and helpless: You don’t have to be perfect. Doing what you are able — the best that you are able, when you are able — is plenty. #Alzheimers #dementia #autism #mentalhealth #caregiving

Weapon of the day: Don’t let new wisdom make you regret what you did with old wisdom. We get to where we are going by doing the best we can with what we know at the time. #caregiverwarrior #caregiving #wisdom #dementia #selfworth #selfcare

A crisis always comes as an invitation to grow, to understand more and to expand in your consciousness. The universe always works in your favor. Your job is to find the brightest side of the obstacle and move through it acquiring knowledge of who you truly are. #sundayvibes
