Quote from Helen Keller: “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
Our guest speaker at our May 11 meeting was Anne Marie Glenn of Long Realty. She is a certified realtor in HOA Community Management and an NAR Military Relocation Specialist. Living in SaddleBrooke, she is quite familiar with the CC&Rs and is able to help buyers and sellers in this adult community.
We encourage the caregiver to be physically and emotionally well by doing what will not only help them to maintain their health, but will so much improve their attitude towards their loved one. So, please:
1. Breathe. Sometimes many times is needed.
2. Drink water, lots.
3. Nourish your body with healthy choices.
4. Sleep: Try to get six to eight hours of shuteye. Know that this can sometimes be very difficult.
5. Move your body. Do some exercise each day. While preparing a meal, jump or stretch as an example.
6. It is equally important to take a break. It’s important to get time away from your loved one. Ask someone to stay for an hour or two.
