I love being at home! I get to read my scriptures as long as I want. Then I get dressed and pick the next thing I will do. I can wash the dishes, sweep the floor, or walk on the treadmill. Today I started crocheting. There is something about getting to choose that feels good. I am even enjoying going through my old papers. Normally that is a task that I abhor. I have the hardest time choosing what to keep and what to throw away. I have saved all the papers I wrote since kindergarten, I guess. I really need to weed those! But it is so fun to go back in time.
I have been thinking about my Grandma today. She liked to have fun, especially on Halloween. She loved practical jokes and dressing up.
My mom followed in her footsteps by being the witch at Cub Scout Halloween parties. She'd have a cauldron of dry ice bubbling and she would be stirring it up and making the best witch's cackle I have ever heard. She had the hat and the long nose and a black cloak all around her. That's a fun memory for me.
Today is a blog day. So I will be adding some info about my dementia adventure.

Twists and Turns
Life really takes twists and turns. I have been working but now I am home and plan to get many things done. First, I want to get all my photos arranged, saved, etc. I also started a blog, which tells about my journey with dementia and brain impairment. Don't know much yet, but I'll get smarter as I go. hahaha.
Mostly, I want to keep this blog for my kids and family. This is my diary. The new blog, entitled "The Gift of Slowing Down" will be for the public. If I can figure out how to set them up that way.
I am going through papers, organizing stuff, and putting down my memories. It's a good thing. I've wanted to do it for a long time. Now I have the time.
I had a wonderful blessing on Sunday. Jeff administered it and 2 others priesthood holders assisted. I know that I will be watched over and that I will be safe.
Jeff is working a Vivint now - selling home alarms. It is good money. We hope to pay off our school debt, someday.
So, my wonderful family, keep on trucking! There is a lot to do and little time to do it. Let's get to it and enjoy the ride.
Love, Kathy
