You think you’ve got it tough

I was going to complain about how busy I’ve been lately. Working full time,family,side projects,and such. Until I heard about Clarice on NPR this morning.

Clarice cares for her 89 year old sister who is in the terminal stages of Alzheimer’s. She also cares for her brother who is 95 and a stroke victim. Sound tough but do-able? Clarice turns 102 this August and has health problems of her own.

Clarice is their sole care giver which means feeding,bathing,doing their laundry,everything. She also has to wake several times during the night to turn her sister who is bed-ridden. She does it all with a positive attitude and thanks God for the ability to do so.

I don’t think I’ll complain today. About anything.
