To take care of one's self.

I used to read the care-givers forum. On the Alzheimer's message boards. But seldom do any more. For a reason. There's too much sadness. The musings section tends to be more upbeat. A place to find respite. To escape one's woes. And to think pleasant thoughts. A way to rejuvenate. And therefore, become a better care-giver, a better human being.  I learned. That to become a better care-giver, it's paramount. To take care of one's self. And to exude good vibes. Virtually all of the time. --Jim Broede
