The quote is from Will Rogers, a simple talking philosopher, who just asked us to look honestly at ourselves, look around and appreciate what we see.
In preparing for a community course on interacting with a dependent loved one to keep them stimulated and positive, He was struck by the many technical supports available and the real lack of hands on, relationship builders for caregivers and the person they love.
