Hello Friends,
I have met some people here in The Cage who have interacted with friendship, which is good. My caregiving, even with help, is still a challenge, and I still do not have an everyday social life and probably will not for the foreseeable future. I do not frequent taverns or clubs, so getting out is limited to rides and visiting a market, maybe a small museum. My connections with very few relatives and friends are essential, and I will do my best. Reinvigorating caring for my house and yard is also important: It is a touch of normalcy and a change from feeling housebound. I think about people in the world severely impacted by conflict and natural disasters and count my blessings.
In other words, caring for my wife, even with help, remains a challenge and impacts what many people consider to be everyday life. Don't take life for granted and become restless because you feel it is too ordinary. Enjoy the ordinary. It is a blessing.
