Hi everyone! Well, I have taken some much needed time off but my brain kept spinning on things I wanted to talk to you about and get your insights. Holiday times can be some of the hardest to balance all the events, activities, shopping, baking, visiting friends and loved ones, etc etc. And, it can be particularly hard when you have friends or family members that can't easily join you for a whole lot of reasons (illness, injury, can't drive, lives too far away...) So, how do you include those loved ones who may end up feeling left out of all the fun? Here's a few ideas on how to keep everyone involved but I'm sure you have more you can add. Be sure and vote -- then add your comments on what you've done in your family.

I ma glad you are here, Mateo-James I love to share with others the balancing act of caring for older family members while making sure you have some fun and take good care of you! While we all share many things in common as we care for our older loved ones, each situation is unique and deserves special attention. That's why this group is here -- to help you share common experiences, find those surprising and unique tips to help you, and to make sure you have a chance to laugh and relax in an understanding and supportive environment. So, to get started, please share a bit about you -- 🌎Where is your favorite vacation spot? 🍿What is your favorite movie? 😎What is your favorite emoji? And, you may add anything else about you and your family that will let us know why you are here and what you would like to get out of this group. Again, welcome!! Looking forward to connecting with you! @Mateo James
