Innovative Approaches to Elderly Care
In elderly care, innovation is not just a buzzword; it's a beacon of hope, a promise of better days for our loved ones as they age. My journey into understanding and appreciating the innovative approaches to elderly care began with my grandfather, Martin. A man who had always been ahead of his time, embracing technology with an enthusiasm rare for his generation, Martin's later years were marked by a decline that seemed to pull him away from the future he had always raced towards. During this period, our family discovered the power of cutting-edge technologies and methodologies in elderly care, transforming not just Martin's life but our perspectives on what it means to provide care in the 21st century.

The Nuances of Elderly Care
Elderly care is a topic that resonates deeply with me, mainly because of my grandmother, Viola. A woman of immense grace and wit, she was the cornerstone of our family. Her vibrant spirit remained undiminished as she aged, but her physical capabilities began to wane. My family found ourselves navigating the complex and emotional journey of ensuring she received the care she needed, all the while honoring her independence and zest for life. This experience, both challenging and enriching, has led me to reflect on the broader aspects of elderly care, its implications, and how we can approach it with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Notes on my first public appearance.
Photo by Redd F on Unsplash It felt weird to not write anything of consequence last week, after consistently writing for eleven weeks now (this is my twelfth, which feels like a milestone of sorts.) It was nice to just be present, to enjoy the time exploring San Diego with my husband, and to just check out from things for a few days, but it still felt weird, and I felt a little bit guilty. I don’t know where the guilt came from since I don’t technically owe anyone anything, I don’t have an editor or a deadline, and my two-piece a week goal is strictly for myself, but maybe it is because I felt like I was letting myself down a bit or not taking my weekly steps to doing this professionally or reaching my goals. Maybe I just felt like I was letting all of my five paid subscribers down by not providing content that they paid for (even though my five paid subscribers are my mom, my dad, my sister, my aunt and my husband and I think they would all forgive me and still love me even if I never wrote another thing ever again- but seriously, how do I get more paid subscriptions here?!) Maybe I just am taking this journey seriously because I want it so badly, and taking a week off feels like I’m not applying myself. But here I am, and I feel rested, my brain feels fresh, it is the astrological New Year, so onward we go, and it feels like things are about to get much, much easier, even if I don’t quite know how yet.

Love The Grandchildren
The eighteen-year-old called to get some information about building a gun. He called Grandpa. Grandpa told him to build a go-kart. I said, did you tell him that sounds dangerous? Yes, Grandpa said, he did tell him that. The next call was from our grandson to ask if Grandpa had a tool to cut a stock.
