Stoicism for Alzheimer's?

 


My next book is titled:

The Pursuit of Happiness with Alzheimer's Year 3

Subtitle?

"For what is joy if it goes unrecorded, and what is love if it is not shared?" (from Midwives)

This quote below from Stoicism quotes link.

I think it is quite apt for me.

"True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.―Seneca

I am thinking my Year 4 book will be titled:

Alzheimer's is Inexorable 

It requires true grit and fortitude.

Definition of grit:

 


courage and resolve; strength of character.
"he displayed the true grit of the navy pilot"


Definition of fortitude:
  1. courage in pain or adversity.
    "she endured her illness with great fortitude"
