[tri-wings] Carers Week

It's Carers Week here in Australia (which seems to have lost a lot of momentum 
due to the election hype). Carers Week is supposed to be a designated week 
where the entire nation remembers, and is reminded of the work that Carers do 
in the community.
I am feeling lousy today but I got a lift when I picked up a postcard from 
Helen at our local Neighbourhood Centre. It simply says thank you for caring 
enough to be a Carer.

How often does anyone take the time to say thank you? How many people truly 
understand what its like to be a Carer? Especially when you know that they mean 
it.

So, today, right now, if you know anyone who is caring for someone, pick up a 
pen and drop them a note that says "Thank You for Caring" - for me, for all of 
us......

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
