#2 Loving Lessons from a caregiver

During my eight years of caregiving I learned deeply how life is here to be lived, beyond memories, beyond reason, beyond hopes, beyond change, beyond judgments and beyond loss.
Engagement is the most important thing to me now, like being involved with my Salsa dancing, Zumba, jazz, triathlons, kickboxing, Rotary and growing my businesses. It's not about judging how good I am at any of them but rather how deeply committed I am to experiencing my chosen interests.
In Living on the Verge of Insanity I discuss how I was able to live this way and care for Alan even if it meant arranging to bring him to everything I was engaged in.
