My new roomie said it was nice I talk to everyone. I knew she meant that I talk to those with dementia. There is one lady who has a nice big smile fior me when I see her.Today she burst into laughter when I fussed over her. Then there is the lady I sit with until she falls asleep. I give her a piece of candy after bingo. I bring down women who cant talk to get nails done with me and let them pick nail polish color. It was so much fun getting my nails done.

Then,at night, a cna told me suddenly that I look so happy. She used to help me in the other room. I had other cna tell me they are surprised I lasted so long,and that others left her and that room.

It is so wonderful to look outside,see sky,and the garden.

My spirit soars.
