Busy, Busy Days!! That's what this past week or so has been like! There is so much to be done in opening a new business! My husband has been a great help with some things even though he already has a full-time occupation/ministry that he needs to keep up with. My daughter has a full-time job that she needs to work to support herself and her son until we open our Adult Day Care. So I've been working day and night, and I'm feeling pretty tired right now.
The picture is the road we take back and forth to Dunlap. It's beautiful scenery when you get to a certain point and can see the view of the mountains! We didn't go up there today but decided to go furniture shopping instead. We needed a couple tables and we went with our daughter to a couple of 2nd hand furniture stores and found a very nice table and a bureau for our reception area, at a very good price! While we were there, we had the opportunity to talk with a lady who was acquainted with the ministry my husband works with. We also talked about the stress involved in caring for family members as they age and are diagnosed with dementia. She said she doesn't think she would have made it when she was caring for her Mother, without the help of being able to use an adult day care occasionally. This was another confirmation of how rewarding this will be.
Our new website address is: www.caringheartsdunlap.com
I've also got a blog here at the address: www.caringheartsdunlap.blogger.com
I've posted some pictures on both of them so you can see the progress we're making on our building!
This blog is about the "little moments" that we can so easily miss if we aren't paying attention. One of those moments came today while I was talking with the lady who had cared for her Mother before she died with Alzheimer's disease. There are so many stories like that out there. I am looking forward to being a help to these "caring hearts" by helping to relieve some of the burden and stress they are under, and to ministering to those who have given their entire lives to others and are now in need of some compassion and tenderness in their old age themselves.
Keep checking back and I'll try to keep this updated, although I'm not sure how much I'll be here. The website and blogspot and Twitter and facebook are taking up most of my time. I think I'm overly "social networked" out!! :-)
