Photographs help with optimism


11 years ago 0 4027 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I found that helping mom, who is bedridden in hospital, is challenging. Sharing photographs is a way of showing the happier days, since we rarely take photos of negative times, unless you're a news reporter. It's even refreshing for me! It wouldn't have occurred to me to do this, except to stimulate mom. I wonder if others have countered their negative thougts this way? I've used backgrounds on my computer too, to change my mood, since they can also be changed to slide shows, for variety and balance.
