Say Goodbye Dementia

I am saying good bye to this blog because it dwells on dementia.  As I recreate my life, my new blog will focus on retirement.  Who knew this would be such a complicated stage of life?  My sweet Dave continues in his many forms of dementia.  Even with all the work and the sadness, I am lucky to have him all this time.  I try not to feel sad that his quality of life is not what I would choose but hasn't that been the story of our lives?  Choosing our own path?  Look for me at

A New Outlook

How depressing it is to read my blog about my spouse who has dementia.  It was probably helpful to express my feelings as  I learned more about the disease.  I can still make myself sad in an instant by thinking about how life used to be and will never occur again.  But today I choose to have a life of my own.  It sounds selfish but life must go on.  I am not in the same mind set as my spouse.  He is doing what he wants to do.  I must do the same.  So , I guess you could say I have a new outlook.
