For example–the quality of Joyfulness:
Through deep acceptance of our lives
we remember to laugh, play and see humor in life.
Our spirit is regularly filled with feelings of joy
as we celebrate how extraordinary it is to be alive.
From Judith H.
I work and play with elders with Alzheimer’s a few times a month. We chat in small groups, dance and exercise, sing, play and, of course, eat together. I usually involve some of our guests in discussions on our childhood, such as the pets we had or holiday experiences.
Our conversations are fun and intelligent. These days give me joy and I have lost much of the fear of mental decline.
My Alzheimer friends are full of spirit. They have given me a valuable gift.
