Life is always, every moment, without fail, offering opportunities for love, companionship, beauty, connection and joy. Life is simultaneously offering opportunities for less desirable things. Every moment we get to choose. Where we put our attention determines our experience of the world. If you are not seeing something you like that is available...keep looking. Joy is available! My experience of this comes from caring for my dear friend, Carl, in the context of his Alzheimer's. If you want to have a great life, commit yourself to giving someone else a great life. You must have a great life yourself in order to make a great life possible for someone else. After seven years of caring for Carl, his life is now complete. With laughter and love until the day of leaving his body, the lessons of Carl's life remain for all of us. Have a lot of love...have a lot of fun! -- David Lazaroff
