    As a caregiver your life is busy and often times you have little time to take care of yourself? Is there someone or something that motivates you or inspires you? How do you manage all of your responsibilities and stress?

    I made a “she” shed out of my garage!  Which was no easy task as my husband did body work and painting out there, but I managed with the help of family and friends.  My husband sleeps in his recliner in the living room, so I made our bedroom my own!  I spend my “free” time decorating, arranging, re-arranging, and then enjoy the spaces, all in between my husband’s calls (banging his backscratcher on his side table cuz he can no longer speak) for care.  Doing this is destressing for me.
