National Caregiver Month- let's share a good laugh

November is National Caregiver Month.  We at Home Instead Senior Care want to applaud all the family and professional Caregivers out there!  We know first hand how important and how stressful your jobs can be.  Many of you are providing care to loved ones in ways you never dreamed possible.
One thing we want to stress to you as a Caregiver is to remember TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!  Know the warning signs of burnout and stress.  Visit our caregiver stress resource to test your level and find ways to help alleviate some of the stress of your caregiving position.
One of my favorite ways to lighten my load and the mood is to laugh!  Let's take a moment to do just that...share with us one of your favorite jokes.  Let's all laugh a little today!

Married Four Times The local news station was interviewing an 80 year old lady, because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80 and then about her new husband's occupation! "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her early 20s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40s, and a preacher when in her 60s, and now in her 80s, a funeral director. Astonished, the interviewer looked at her and asked, "Why did you marry four men with such diverse careers?" She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and four to go."
