Caring for the Elderly

February 1, 2010

Elderly woman sits in her room at a nursing home, lost in thought.

Old age.  For some, perhaps most, it’s everything it’s cracked up to be.  Frail, unable to care for oneself, perhaps even dementia-ridden.  Even those elderly with caring families can find themselves needing skilled nursing care in a well-equipped facility, their homes no longer safe for them to live in, even with an aide.  It’s a most difficult and painful time in life for both the elders and their families.  If you’re one of the millions of baby boomers with elderly parents, see to their best care, whatever that might entail, and be the best advocate possible.  Beyond that, a simple visit will bring an abundance of sunshine into an older person’s life.

The Bronx

August 11, 2009

The Bronx, my childhood home, and one of the five boroughs of New York City which more often than not gets a bad rap, an unfair reputation of being a not-so-nice place.  Certainly not a place to raise your kids.  Fortunately for the United States, a one Mrs. Sotomayor found the Bronx to be a fine place to raise her children.  From the Bronx to the United States Supreme Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor sits on the highest court in the land.

Stone chambers, like the one pictured below, are scattered throughout New York’s Hudson Valley.  They’ve been around a long time, 1,000 years+, and nobody knows who built them or why.  From Druid temples, caves of the devil, and paranormal/UFO portals to Native American sweat lodges and Colonial root cellars, stories and theories abound.  One thing is certain:  the eternal quality of stone as an artistic and architectural medium.

Always with us, often on our minds. Life and death juxtaposed.

My body–White Plains, New York, below average temperatures, even for early March, slowly warming up.

My mind–Southwest US, hot, dry, spacious, blue skies, can see forever.

Where I Am...watching icicles melt from my roof on a cold early March day in New York.
