Turning a Minus into a Plus

Life will not always be full of positives. The key is to find ways to make a plus out of a minus. Surprisingly, this is possible to do.

My dad who is almost 83 is recovering at a rehab facility from a couple of fractures he incurred last month. He will be staying there for some time. At his age and with other conditions he has – Alzheimers, dementia, osteoporosis – this was not a pretty outcome.

The physiotherapist and nurses gave him good attention, helping him recover faster. The family visited often making him feel loved and important. I have been visiting him and find that I am spending more quality time with him at the rehab than I was spending when he was home. Today, I gave him a shave – something I have never done at home!

Sometimes in life a minus can become a plus in some ways if you make it so.
