It was recently pointed out to me that I was good at researching topics and steering people in the right direction to get something done. I am especially good when it comes to making hard life decisions about loved ones when they need help. I took an inventory of what I knew and what I needed to learn about when it came to aging and care giving (family members and myself). I would like to share some things I figured out by starting with what I am good at:
I am good at cleaning up messes;
I am good at organizing everything;
I am good at researching a topic;
I am good at making lists and spreadsheets;
I am good at creating instruction manuals (Manuals in all the departments I worked in and a Manual for Life. (See my book Discover the Life You Want to Live);
I am good at helping others make decisions in their best interests.
I am good at researching and giving advice, but not so good at my actual caring process, so I am working on that! So my next step is to create a manual for my spouse and kiddo which will be advice and care instructions for an aging parent. I will try and explain more in the next few days after I’ve fully researched the topic. If you have advice, please send it to me! Also, here is a cool website that I am using: https://www.agingcare.com/topics
Love to all tonight! Stay warm and safe!
