An individual's definition of "life is good"
changes over time and is determined not only by what is happening in his/her
own life, but also what is happening in the lives of loved ones.
When dealing with Alzheimer's, the definition of "life is good" simply means no one is in pain or totally overwhelmed with anxiety related to the disease. I question whether anyone would purposefully choose or desire our situation, but Kristie turned 62 today and in our milieu, I must confess that life is good.

I have posted three short videos depicting "life is
good". The first perspective is from our four year old grandson - just enjoying some balloons in a wind chamber. The other two videos are of Kristie - one
showing her agility using a wheelchair to get around, and another video of us just walking. They call her "Speedy" at the
assisted living facility because of how quickly she can get around in her
wheelchair. And the walking - that may
not seem like a big deal, but it is to us; and therefore life is good.
Not bad for a woman who didn't or couldn't walk for 7 months.
