Well, the theme for the retreat is "Staying Steady in a Changing World" - but Tuesday night was when I was informed that they had me scheduled for a workshop . . . of my choice. The other 2 that will be taking place at the same time of mine are dealing with 1)Sunday School and 2)Younger female adults. I was told that I would be having whoever did not fit in the first 2 - mainly the older (probably 40's and up)ones. So my thoughts of Parenting or Pastor's Wives went down the drain. Ones who need "parenting advice" will be in the "younger women" and all that attend my workshop will not be pastor's wives.
Laura and I attended a seminar in Montgomery, AL today. Got up a little after 3 am - left from Laura's @ 4:30. Jotted a few ideas down for the workshop while waiting. Possibilities of areas to cover are:
1. Changes in the elderly (physical and mental)
2. Preparation (areas of safety, advance directives, finances, nutrition, available resources...)
3. Options (assist. living, live-in help, NH...)
4. Nurturing (loved one and caregiver)
So, I'm collecting info. Thanks for the websites you guys have already sent. Great stuff. Pray that the Lord will help me get all my thoughts in line on this. Also, with the main message!

Posted by Anita for Barb! Thanks Anita. It is now 4:17 AM. I got in from work about 3 AM. Had to take a test on Incident Command System for work. Wanted to get it over with. There's a second course but I can't get access to it. For some reason sleep doesn't come easy these days. Not sure why. Too much going on in my head, I guess! Getting ready to hit the hay though. I need to go to Mobile tomorrow. Not sure if I'll make it. :)
You better slow down, sister! Gonna wear yourself down to a frazzle!
Great plan on that list; you're adept at this, so you should teach it.
