Senior Care Memoirs Blog has been Created

I have started a sister site called Senior Care Memoirs. I was going to write a book but decided a blog would be more helpful and logical as the details will come along in spurts. And I'm already have writing 3 other books.

The new blog will include incorrect information you'll likely receive from nursing homes, important questions nursing homes need to ask up front but don't, what to expect from seniors with dementia and mobility issues, and how to find care for these seniors when you can't do it yourself. My personal experiences, frustrations, and failures will be included as well so you'll know you're not alone in your battle and that you will survive.

Hopefully, I will be able to shed some light on how you can maintain your sanity and keep the promise you will make to yourself that you will not wind up like the senior(s) you're watching after. Difficulties, threats, and disappointments will litter the way, and you'll have no idea how you got into the mess you find yourself in. Questions are always welcome. Answers will be provided either via the comments section, email, or a new post. 

Thanks for visiting www.SimplyMakingLife.com today. I hope you enjoy the new site and will find it to be helpful once more posts are added.

May God bless you on the journey you're on today,

Patricia

Love My Granitestone Cookware

I bought my Granitestone cookware June 3, 2023. I loved these right out of the box. Now, after nearly 5 months of use, I'll have to say this is the best cookware I've ever owned. And I've owned lots of cookware since my husband and I got married nearly 35 years ago. I'm actually considering buying one of their knife sets too. If I do, I'll leave a product review on here for those as well.  Granitestone is not paying me for this review. If you know me by now, you know that I started this website to help other women in every aspect of life that I can. Why tell you about this today ? Because I cook our meals nearly every night of the week. And I feel that 5 months is long enough to tell you about these. They haven't warped yet like most cookware does - usually after the first use. These are very heavy duty.  I really like the glass lids so I can watch my meal more closely. These lids are also vented with small holes so I don't have to tilt them to vent. It is d

Being God's Ambassador: Meditation 4

Let's prepare to meditate . Start playing your relaxing sounds/music on another device if you like accompaniment with meditation. With your tissues and water beside you, get in a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes if you'd like. Now, relax your entire body, starting with your forehead, between your eyebrows, your jaws, your neck and shoulders, your arms and legs. Feel the tension release as you relax. Allow the stomach and shoulders to naturally rise and fall as you slowly breathe in and breathe out. Today's meditation affirmation is "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador." Let's repeat this affirmation to ourselves as we concentrate on our breathing for a few moments.  Continue your slow, concentrated breathing as I guide you through today's meditation. Listen to Meditation 4 . In Genesis 1:26 NLT (New Living Translation), God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” God made u
