My Swedish Touch Home cleaning and in home care

Someone who had terminal cancer once said, "don't be sad for me, we all come to this world to be tourists, enjoy life, go sightseeing, do good deeds, I just so happen to be leaving earlier than others". Today is Cancer Survivor Day. Can I ask a favor?? Just a few of you will do it. If you know someone who fought a battle against cancer and passed away, or someone who is still struggling, or know a brave survivor; copy and paste.
So many warriors on my mind today.

“In the last Quarter of Life”
A lot of us are in the last quarter of life and I share without politics, religion, race cards. Just gentle thoughts:
You know, time has a way of catching you off-guard about how quickly it travels.
It feels like just yesterday that I was young and ready to start adult-life. And in a way it feels like eons ago, and I wonder where the years have gone.
I know I lived them all.
I remember all my hopes and dreams. I remember the plans I made.
And suddenly, here I am in the last quarter.
How did I get here so fast?
Where have the years gone and where did my youth go?
I can recall looking at older people, thinking how long it will take for me to get where they are. That I am still in my youth, that I have many years ahead. At that time I could not even think of being where I am now.
And yet, here I am.
My friends are retired, they all have grey hair, they move much slower than they did and when I look at them, I see older people. Some are in a better and some a worse condition than me. But I see the big difference. They are no longer the youthful, carefree, full-of-life friends.
Just like me, age shows. And we are now the older people we used to look at and thought it was still a long way off.
I find that these days, taking a shower takes its toll on my breath and energy levels. And an afternoon nap is not just a treat, it’s become a necessity. And if I don’t, I find myself sleeping in the same chair I started reading or watching television in.
Now I have entered this new season of my life, totally unprepapred for the discomfort, aches and pains, loss of energy and strength and ability to do what I could, yet sometimes didn’t. At least I know that, even though I am in the last quarter and I have no idea how long this quarter will be, when my time on earth is over, a new adventure awaits too.
Yes, I do have things I wish I I had never done. Yet so thankful for those I did. It is all in a lifetime.
And if you are not in the last quarter yet, I want to remind you that it comes faster than you could anticipate. Do the things you still want to do as soon as possible. Do not procrastinate. Life runs on fast legs.
Do today what you can.
There is no promise that we will all see the seasons of life. Live for today. For now.
Say the words to the ones you love. Often.
Hopefully some will appreciate the things you did for them. And if they don’t, it is also okay.
Life is truly a gift. Just be happy. It is afterall your choice.
And remember that health is a treasure, not wealth, gold and silver, property or your bank balance.
You may think that going out is the best, but believe me – coming home is better.
You may forget names and that is okay, because some have already forgotten that they knew you.
The things you cared about previously, you may lose interest in.
If you fall asleep in your favourite chair, stay there.
Growing older is wonderful. It is comfortable. It is loaded with memories that you never grow tired of. It is an absolute treasure.
Look after yourself.

UN DÍA ME IRÉ DE AQUÍ!

Un día me iré de aquí, y entonces dejaré de abrazar a los que amo y también dejaré de pelearme con lo que no amo tanto.
Un día ya no volveré a probar café, ni beber vino, ni comer mis comidas favoritas, dejaré de contemplar mis atardeceres y dejaré también de escribir mis reflexiones.
Dejaré de cantar las canciones que amo, las que, aunque desafinada, canto con el alma.
Un día será la última vez que vea esa película que tanto amo. Que lea esos libros que nutrieron profundamente mi alma; y dejaré de existir en este cuerpo.
Simplemente todo un día habrá terminado y eso estará bien, pués el simple hecho de, en esta encarnación, haber saboreado la vida, haber despertado mi conciencia, habrá sido suficiente.
Un día que desconozco pero ya existe, este viaje habrá terminado y poco habrán importado mis creencias, mis miedos, mis errores, pero mucho habrán valido mis abrazos, mis caricias, mi amor.
Esta vida me ha dado más de lo que pude haber imaginado y eso es más que suficiente para vivir agradecida lo que me resta de vida. Esta vida me ha dado lo más preciado, la oportunidad de amar y saberme amada.
Gracias vida, por mi vida y por la vida en esta tierra!

"I asked an elderly woman once what it was like to be old and to know that the majority of her life was now behind her.

She told me that she has been the same age her entire life. She said the voice inside of her head had never aged. She has always just been the same girl. Her mother's daughter. She had always wondered when she would grow up and be an old woman.

She said she watched her body age and her faculties dull but the person she is inside never got tired. She never aged. She never changed.

Remember, our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."

"Hi- I asked my local Harris Teeter grocery store in Virginia if they had a shopping cart that I could put my 91 year old mother in. She likes to go with me to get her groceries but can no longer walk all the isles. The options left me are to leave her in the car with it running or she has to stay at home. Neither were good options. Turns out they had a Caroline's Cart and it worked perfect! I feel like your company has created a resource that could be so wonderful for elderly seniors. Looking at the options in the lobby for carts, are the regular ones, mini versions for children and motorized which is wonderful for those who still have the skill set for driving. Nothing for elderly who have limited physical abilities at advanced ages but who still live and home and like to get out. By including seniors, caregivers can give seniors an option to get out of their recliners and back into the stores and living....... it was a wonderful product! Thank you!!"
