CHECK ON YOUR LOVED ONES IN NURSING HOMES

If your loved one is in a nursing home, don't take for granted he or she is being cared for in accordance to the law. As cuts are being made and the economy continues to deteriorate, there will be more cases of abuse reported. My own Mother has been a victim of abuse on numerous occasions, and that was when I was visiting nearly daily for three years. For the past two years, I have not been able to be a secondary caretaker for her since my own health has deteriorated.

I THANK GOD for a support network where on average she has a quality, loving visit or two during most weeks. Even though I wish I wish could be more, it just can't be right now. My goal is to get her out of there and I pray daily it's soon. How it will happen - I don't know but I HAVE FAITH. It hasn't happened yet and in May it will be five years. I STILL HAVE FAITH! As I WORK towards the goal - I HAVE FAITH!

My Mother will be 79 next month. I am grateful the stroke she had did not take her life, but know what her story is.  She has been through so much and deserves so much more, but we as many other families just cannot afford to care for our loved ones at home. There are too many instances, when insidious acts of abuse are committed, even when family is committed to their loved ones.

We must live each day as if it is our last, and when tomorrow comes we

can feel assured we did our best, and tomorrow will be better.

It's our money in the bank towards a better life, and that makes life

SIMPLY WONDERFUL!

BE BLESSED!

BE A WINNER - BE TRIUMPHANT

Today, I finally finished a project I should have been done with for some time. Despite all the pitfalls, feeling sick, being sidetracked by Multiple Sclerosis - I AM TRIUMPHANT.  It is uncomfortably close to the deadline which I just don't like - but - I AM IN IT TO WIN IT. The moral of this story for anyone is DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T GIVE IN, DO YOUR BEST, - and you will proclaim - I AM TRIUMPHANT - I AM A WINNER!

DISABILITY INSURANCE

http://www.about-disability.com/disability-insurance/ 

It is imperative upon each of us to protect ourselves and families in whatever ways we can. Years ago, after being diagnosed with MS and other unexpected problems I made up my mind that I need to do more. Understanding the gravity of this illness and living day to day with the unknown aspects of how disease may cause more problems if I was unable to work, I began looking into disability insurance. There were many occasions when I could have used it, but I didn't. When my body could no longer tolerate the stress seven years later, I found it was the best financial investment I made other than contributing to my retirement fund.

My suggestion to anyone, in addition to the chronically ill and the self employed, if possible make the provision to protect your income or at least a portion of it and  buy investing in disability insurance. Many of us know of someone who was healthy yesterday and on their back the next. Now, if you're one of the few who don't need their paycheck, this definitely isn't for you. For any others, like me who need to think about replacing all or part of their income or suffer financial suicide and in the worse case scenario put you out of work, disability insurance will ease many of the burdens one may encounter.

These days, as state and federal government are near financial collapse, we must change along with present conditions even if it means giving up something else.

Despite all the odds against me caused by this terrible disease,

I AM TRIUMPHANT, I AM ACHIEVING MY GOALS, and
STILL DESTINED FOR THE SUCCESSFUL LIFE THAT IS

GOD'S PROMISE FOR ME!

My message is for anyone who has faced problems that causes
them reorder/redirect/recover aspects of their lives.
Despite how hard the battle, whether it is the most horrible
circumstance or obstacle you've encountered to that point find
your source of strength that will take you from despair to VICTORY.

It will not be easy, when adversity enters one's life, the best resoure we
can rely on is our inner strength. Acquiring inner strength is or should be
a daily ritual through prayer, meditation in commune with that which is
greater than us. I know, I've been relying on my inner strength since I
was 8 years old. I am now 52, and know it is the building of my source
of inner strength that has brought me to this age with some sense of sanity.

DECLARE VICTORY IN AND OVER YOUR LIFE!

BE BLESSED!
