New Blog Series: “Finding Joy Again: Light in the Caregiving Journey”

As a full-time caregiver, I didn’t have time to chase joy.

But one day, it found me—quietly, in a song that ignited something still in Clint's brain, causing his toe to tap and his hands to drum. Or when all the grandbabies were around and the bright expression in mom's smile that would light up the room.

No words, just a quiet-loving emotion. But it was a moment of presence, of connection—and joy.

In Week 1 of my new blog series that will be published Wed, July 30th, “Finding Joy Again,” I reflect on how caregiving redefined what joy means to me.

It’s not about ease. It’s about meaning.
