Tru here regarding symptoms of fatigue and inflexibility.

Frosty.
Fragile.
— cool, crisp, and crinkly.

Energy spent,
so At the moment
I am at the end of my flexibility,
… in schedule adaptability
… and in communication.

Needing to renew
but Spring feels a long way off.

.*.

Time to
minimize amount of tasks,
minimize task complexity,
… and time to maximize appreciation of EACH moment,
in whatever way those moments might take form.

Time for slow soak in tub.
Time for music.
Time for SLOWLY creative moments.

Time for warm hugs, quiet words … and mugs of hot chocolate,
while sitting in front of a crackling fire.

Time to enjoy some special moments with YOU !!

Those moments might be in person, but they might be in video chat … or even a card or letter.  But at times like this i personally need very quiet, close relationship, … or prayer and meditation.  Because for ME, relationship makes life worth living.

Each person is different, and someone else might need perky pick-me-up.  But for ME perky pick-me-up would be entirely exhausting at this stage, leaving me in worse condition than i started.

What about YOU ??

This blog entry began with photo posted by a PLwD friend, Wendy Mitchell.  (PLwD = Person Living with Dementia.)  Tried to nap after i saw the photo, but instead words started spilling out, desperately needing a place to settle.  So the words settled on this page, and it is lovely to create … again.  ((smile)).  Photo with permission from Wendy Mitchell.

((Previously, i had a notice here at base of each entry with announcement and Logo for HealthLine 2019 Best Alz Blogs.  To my surprise, after HealthLine contacted me in January with fact that i was included in 2019 Best Alz Blogs, then announcing it publically on March 18, ten days later they decided against including writers with Mild Cognitive Impairment, and removed this blog from their listing, leaving only one first-person perspective.  Now i am deleting each of those announcements of my inclusion on HealthLine Best Alz Blogs for 2019.  i hope they soon decide to include at least one other first-person perspective in their “Best Alzheimers Blogs”.)) >> https://www.healthline.com/health/alzheimers-disease/best-blogs-of-the-year
