Thought I would put the artwork aside and briefly touch on a subject rarely touched upon in RL... That is Caregiving.  November has been designated National Caregiver Month to shine the spotlight on those who are selflessly caring for loved ones, aging or disabled or both.

"Spouses and partners become caregivers to the ones they love even as they navigate their own health challenges… All of them give selflessly to bring comfort, social engagement, and stability to those they love… National Family Caregivers Month is a time to reflect on the compassion and dedication that family caregivers embody every day. As we offer our appreciation and admiration for their difficult work, let us also extend our own offers of support to them and their loved ones."---President Obama

This month let's honor those who have become our #1 long term care provider , the family caregivers!

Wow, I'm really glad this is enough of a prominent subject that we're dedicating a month to it. Just personally, I'm tired of the rhetoric about "people who just want things" when talking about people who either depend on assistance or depend on the assistance of people they care for. I saw a set of videos by "the 47%," and I was really blown away by the number of people who are either struggling with their own health limitations or with the limitations of others in their family who were brave enough to speak up.
