I've been so silent here. The sparks of inspiration hit often...but rarely when I can capture them. Today after some required chores I took a much-needed nap. I need more naps in my life.

A Few Changes
Just a few changes since our diagnosis. We decided to get a Service Dog to help JM with his conditions. He actually has two major conditions. In addition to Alzheimer's, he has diabetes. Both are serious. Diabetes is a really complex disease.
Given his conditions, we decided to get a Service Dog. We have named her Racheal. She has been with us since late September. We are still learning how to incorporate her fully into our life. Turns out, there's a lot of training that is required...for both us and the dog. It has not been easy.
We have so much to learn.

An Altered Life
So, my husband has Alzheimer's. His 59th birthday was just 11 days ago. He's way too young to have this particular condition. His is called "early-onset", which I appreciate. It's an acknowledgment that this is not usual. In fact, Alzheimer's is not "typical" at any age, it is not a "normal" part of aging.

Autumn is Here
Autumn is finally upon us and I am reminded of why I love this season SO much. The cooler air with some breeze. The crisp mornings with a surprising number of songbirds singing as though they are coming back for spring. This is the first year I noticed that. They are singing so much more than they did in the summer. If spring is the season of new beginnings, what is fall?
