Every day holds another chance to begin again. With all the excitement of the holidays and the New Year, it’s easy to get caught up in resolutions and comparisons. Catching up after travel, family parties, and time off work, (you name it!), also adds to challenges for caregivers who find themselves taking up new roles, trying to hold the family and traditions together, and craving a life for themselves when everything around them seems to have changed. The pressure to do all this and help a loved one move, or declutter your own home so you can enjoy it, can be overwhelming.

Well, every day holds another chance to begin again. A chance to start where you are and take one step toward your goal. Take the time for yourself. Even if it is simply to sit for five minutes in silence, to breathe, to give yourself space to begin again, today.
