Stress Is Not Your Friend Link to Today's Show - https://youtu.be/mFtnC0gcvf0 Stress is a bad thing. All the way around, stress is not your friend.

Be Encouraged Show Link - https://youtu.be/dCz2Zt-FdU4 I'm having one of those days where I'm not feeling so encouraged. I'm debating two items: (1) participate in life, or (2) sit in my La-Z-Boy and watch "Hart of Dixie" reruns till I fall asleep. I've decided to choose option #1. I need to be a part of life so that I might be used to encourage someone else on their life journey. I hope you feel encouraged, also.

Life Is Contradictory Today's Show Link --https://youtu.be/Q1Zuo2ZTZa4 Life is contradictory. This is true even if dementia is not part of your world.
