Good morning! Today, I hope you receive the rest you need to feel revitalized. You deserve to enjoy your day because you feel up to your day.

Good morning! Today, I hope you realize that the work you put in yesterday improves today. We work hard and during that hard work we sometimes lose sight of our progress. Today, I hope you feel it.

Good morning! Thank you for valuing supportive relationships versus transactional ones. We grow weary of those only concerned about what we can do for them. It's refreshing when another also wants to know how they can help us.

Good morning! Our days can feel full of tests -- of our knowledge, our level of patience, our stamina. Today, I hope you pass all the tests and can revel in the relief of getting past them.

Good morning! When you advocate for change, you may encounter others who encourage you to cave. Your ability to fight can be intimidating; others may wonder if they have your same unflinching resolve. Continue to fight because your fight for better matters. Your conviction is contagious.

Good morning! Most likely, you've recently had to pivot -- change a process, adjust a schedule, find a new perspective. Pivots take energy, courage and stamina. That pivot will bring you success. I hope that achievement arrives today.

Good morning! During a challenge, we also can be challenged to remain hopeful. When you doubt that you can, look to another who already did. Then, borrow their hope.

Good morning! Today, I hope you have the patience you need to deal with the demands of the day. You may be tempted to be ill-tempered with those who argue, blame and judge. Give them little of your time so you have time for what matters most to you.

How do we recover after a difficult #caregiving day? How do we heal after our personal caregiving experience ends?

We need a library of strategies to help us recover after these grueling caregiving experiences.

My books which support you during and after caregiving are free on Kindle.

Thank you for all you do.

I thought of 9 reasons to thank a family caregiver. What would you add?

Read the list and share yours: join.caringourway.com/posts/927489...

A thank you message to family caregivers on a cream-colored background. On the left, teal text reads: 'Thank you for keeping the faith even as all those 19 Caregiving Systems seem to drain you of hope.' On the right is a photograph of a bouquet of yellow and white flowers in a dark vase on a wooden surface, with a tan gift tag reading 'Thank you!' attached with twine. Below the image is the question 'What's another gratitude for family caregivers?' and the website 'CaringOurWay.com' in italics.
