The Miracle of Toast
In my gratitude practice, here's what I've noticed Maybe "practice" is too lofty a term. I don't claim any specialness when it comes to spiritual mojo or mental hygiene. But as I've gotten older, I've developed a nightly habit: before I turn off my bedside lamp, I write down five things I'm grateful for.

Homewrecker
“No, she isn’t my daughter,” he corrects a colleague. “She’s my wife.” On cue, I beam at my husband, innocent and doe-eyed—like I did in my 20’s when he was in his 40’s. His friend invariably elbows him, making comments about cradle robbing and spring chickens. We laugh. I say something clever in reply. His companion looks surprised.

An Artist's Self Portrait Demonstrates His Own Descent Into Alzheimer's Hell
In my Alzheimer’s articles, I give you solid, proven information on how to deal with Alzheimer’s behaviors.

I explained the reasons for, and solutions to how to deal with the unusual, difficult to understand, often inexplicable behaviors related to communication disorders, displayed by your Alzheimer’s loved one.

And the Oscar for Jealous Husband Goes to Will Smith
Reality is always messy, ripe with conflict, unsettled resentment, and bittersweet redemption. Ironically, the compelling filmmaking ingredients necessary to make it to the Oscars were the ones Smith²-Rock delivered during the 94th Academy Awards.
