#14 Loving lessons from a Caregiver

I learned that we are seemingly hard wired for guilt and despair and that there are many ways to fight the pull and stay confident and happy. It was always a struggle. One day at a time is a good philosophy.
The chapter 1,000 acts of kindness in my memoir Living on the Verge of Insanity describes many of the ways I was able to convert impatience and anger to kindness. It also tells of how I kept guilt away as much as possible by knowing how much love was at the core of my caregiving efforts.
