#alzchat it’s very nice to see familiar names and jump in to your conversation today - still worth it despite the slow pace of messages:) the bonus will be new faces next week as well.
#alzchat today’s topic and the flow speed of the internet makes it difficult to contribute- but I wanted to say that when opportunities present themselves - consider including your family member or friend - surprises happen and positive things can result! Smiles and good moods are worth it!
#AlzChat through creativity people are no longer defined by illness or condition- but by what we can create together if individually. I see that creativity changes perspectives. @alzchat.bsky.social
