Sorry i have been away from this blog nearly three years. i lost access to how to get in, and recently recovered the route.
Tru here. This entry is written by Truthful Loving Kindness (yes that is my full legal name) for publishing at https://truthfulkindness.com/ , so PLEASE direct any questions or comments to that website, regardless of which website shows these words.
Ai summary of this article is “After nearly three years away from blogging, Truthful Loving Kindness has resumed writing due to a regained access to blog administration. Despite cognitive decline, the blog has garnered significant views. Improvements in personal health and ongoing construction projects are highlighted, along with a focus on maintaining hope while managing dementia.”
.Details.
My cognitive abilities have declined further in the last three years. Nevertheless, instead of bogging down this first entry, I will use more detail in later entries for each dementia category.
It has been almost three years since I’ve had access to my page for Blog Administration, so no changes to my blog itself during that time. But i have been extremely encouraged to discover the Blog articles have been regularly accessed during these past years even tho no new entries have been posted. 2024 had almost 8,000 views, and almost 10,000 views during 2025. By far, the most common views were to “Links for Symptoms & Strategies” at https://truthfulkindness.com/about/d-info/links-sx-strategies/ . So i will be trying to review the Links on that page for any “dead” Links, but i suspect it will take a while.
One of the biggest BLOG changes in the past two years is that Teepa Snow PAC team will be helping me with my blog. ((More about that later)).

*** My general health is better. After 25 years of trying to lose weight, I finally began actually losing weight in 2024. There were many health complications. I have lost nearly 70 pounds, and returned to my pre-menopausal weight now, which brings many health benefits. Now the remaining challenge will be to see whether my weight can stabilize.
*** Service Dog is now 9.5 years old. We are beginning the search for a puppy. Hero will be 12 years old before the puppy can take on full mobility tasks.
*** After 23 years of construction we have now hired a helper, and our house is now in final stages of construction. We have been building as we afford it, with no mortgage. We feel really good about our DIY project. It includes a full upstairs for when a third care-partner is needed.
*** Made one small revision to Symptoms and Strategies Links page, but other than that there are no changes to my blog YET.
…
*** Art: I have loads of new digital paintings (made on ProCreate app) from the past two years. My best paintings are still available for free download at Flickr, https://www.flickr.com/photos/194191353@N04/ but i understand they changed policies for free accounts April 2025 so i am not sure how long that will continue. .
*** As a person living with dementia symptoms, keeping an outlook of HOPE is crucial to my well-being. Any book movie, etc. that has input in my brain must have Hope or i discard the idea of reading it, watching it, listening to the music, etc. Conversations and interactions inevitably occur that pull down my perspective, so I carefully manage my inputs and sleep opportunities, to ensure continuation of hopeful perspective.

Yes; the cover photo is a digital painting of mine from Feb2025.

Again, I mostly used AlainaJensen acrylic brushes , with Procreate tools on iPad that compensate for my tremors. This higher resolution picture shown below is available for free download from my Flickr acct at https://www.flickr.com/photos/194191353@N04/54302933584 .
HopeSnoDrop20250202 Description per Leonardo Ai on 11Jan2026: “Image is a digital illustration with a circular layout, featuring a central subject of a snowdrop flower emerging from a patch of snow. The background is a textured blend of icy blues and greens, creating a frosty, wintery atmosphere. At the top of the image, the word ‘hope’ is prominently displayed in a stylized, handwritten font, [[actually my own handwriting, LOL]] colored in a gradient of teal and green. The text is slightly curved, complementing the circular design. In the bottom right corner, the signature ‘Truthful L Kindness’ followed by ’02 Feb 2025′ is inscribed in a delicate, cursive script, adding a personal touch to the artwork. The overall composition conveys a theme of resilience and renewal, with the snowdrop symbolizing hope amidst the cold, wintry setting.”” –per Leonardo Ai on 11Jan2026
