RIDING THE WAVES

It might be considered by some, that way to deal with the daily issues associated with dementia, would be to strive to fight for the lost moments of memory or thought. This maybe a satisfactory approach for some. However, my experience to date, I say to date because it is the only day with which we have to deal. is While making sure that each day has some moments of significant action, be that physical and / or mental stimulation, I do not find it helpful or consider it wise, to start struggling with temporary lapses of memory or mood.

In the periods, like those referred to above, I find it best to ride the wave, of whatever the circumstance might be. Like all waves, they usually start small with a gradually increasing swell, then before long, break and dissipate. They can either be allowed to swamp the craft, or alternatively, if it is steered in a skillful manner, the wave will carry boat forward safely.

One is the skipper of ones own craft and the journey can be a good,  provided one uses the rough water to carry you forward rather drown you.
