I want to feature caregiver blogs for a few days. Why? Because not only am I a care giver but many, sooo many baby boomers are providing care for a loved one. Many are doing inhome care, site visits, or doing what they can long distance.
It can provide a strain, both emotionally and physically on the care giver.Although there are support groups out there many of us just don’t have that quality time to attend. Some of us get great therapy, hope and information from blogging.
So, if you have services or just plain support to save sanity regarding caregivers please share. Now if you want to be a guest blogger please email me, rosiehorner(at)gmail.com, with your blog post. Please I don’t want just ads but added value information that can help all that read this site.
Thanking all of you ahead of time.
Just hope that the information can help somebody.

This week I realized that all of life is one big Soap Opera. I than began to thank God for the commericials. I am talking about those short pauses that occur to give us peace, happiness or special excitment in the midst of the dramas. For example, something simple like reading a good book while in the waiting room of a doctor’s office with a loved one.
Oh, don’t forget about that new Zumba class or the collage making project. I have recently started a new hobby and reading, chatting about coin collecting. I even started a blog. So, now I relax with a magnifying class looking at my change before I roll it up.
My husband has started taking guitar lessons and yes he started a blog for that also. But, now he takes a pause to play with those chords. Sure will be glad when he can play that BB King he promised me.
Or going to your fav coffee shop or little diner to enjoy something special while waiting for the line in the “Whatever place of tension” to go down. How many of you know about the pause at the end of a very trying day relaxing on Twitter, in front of the TV or special quiet time of prayer?
Personally, my faith and humor is keeping me sane. So I welcome those commercials in my life.
What every it is if you feel like sharing it just might help someone else today. But just remember don’t Tivo your life, keep those commercials coming.

When you go to this blog you are engaged by funny cartoons in each post. This compliments the blog theme and highlights the comfortable navigation of the site.
What I also like about the site is that the design provides an opportunity to share, on the front page, what the site is all about. This makes me want to go beyond the cartoons to get to more of the meaty substance.
Many of us dream of being successful at work but are unsure how to make this dream reality. At Humorous Reality our focus is helping you develop a successful work life and culture in your office and organization.
We accomplish this by helping you realize this dream with a little humor while keeping it real. It is this selective mixture of humor and reality which allows you, co-workers and direct reports to embrace, understand, and implement strategies developing into a more highly engaged and productive workforce.
Harry Humorous and Rita Reality work together in a cartoon format on this blog to deliver timely information and content that you can use now.
One of my favorate posts is on Listening. Which is also one of my passionate topics. They provide eight(8) clear strategies to improve your listening skills. An must in any job situation. In addition I was impressed with the opportunity to include my Twitter Id. I need to add it to this site as well.
I think that they could benefit from a separate page on the site for meeting planners who want to know their training and speaking details. As well as anyone needing personal coaching. The current economic situation in the US makes the skill set of the authors in more demand beyond the blogging platform. In additon, I wanted to see what product offerings they had available.
So, thanks to the authors of this blog that both educates as well as entertain. Go visit and be sure to laugh a bit as well and soak in the cutting edge content presented by two great professionals.
