Maybe I should write a book.

No doubt about it. Some of my most relaxing and productive days. Come. When I’m living in the moment. Absorbing the positive vibes. Occurring around me. Some of it planned. Also the result of good and blessed luck. Years ago, as a care-giver for dear dementia-riddled wife Jeanne, I thought about testing such an environment. On Jeanne. She was a natural. Possessed with a one-track mind. And living essentially in the moment. I doused Jeanne in good and positive vibes. Round the clock. With no let up. I arranged things. Astutely. To block out any and all negative vibes. Took a while.  To take full effect. But alas, a miracle. No more paranoia.  No more hostility. Jeanne became relatively calm and relaxed. A happy camper. We weaned her off many medications. Including sedatives. In the process, of course, I had to become a good actor. Never allowing Jeanne to see me irate or losing my cool. I insisted on similar conduct for Jeanne’s visitors. Meanwhile, I’ve tutored other care-givers. In my good vibes technique. For those taking it seriously. It works. Little wonder, they have become true believers. Maybe I should write a book. --Jim Broede
