And not least, more loving.

It was as an Alzheimer care-giver. That I learned  to exercise mind over matter. Forcing myself into a positive frame of mind. So that I exuded good vibes. Even in the worst of times. And to do that. I needed proper breaks. From the wear and tear of care-giving. Took a while to get it right. But ultimately, I succeeded. By falling in love. With care-giving. Simply, cutting back on my hours. Instead of 24/7, I became a 10-hour a day care-giver. Accomplishing far more in 10 hours than I had in 24. The difference. Daily rest.  Helps one become more efficient. More upbeat. And not least, more loving. --Jim Broede
