A caregiver complained about feeling stifled because every day was the same.  I responded that PWDs require Ground-hog days in order to function. I notice this about myself.  

I also call it living in a bubble.  I feel most comfortable in my bubble, where every day is mostly the same.  I used to resist this because sameness is not the American way.  

I also envision my home as an oasis in a turbulent world.  Does anybody relate?
