Most of us have enjoyed a hot beverage each morning throughout our adult lives, probably coffee or tea. So it should be no surprise that at a recent Lady-Links visit with our dear friends, those ladies in our community with various types of cognitive decline, that we could connect through shared memories of those early morning times. A collection of cups and mugs sparked conversations about favorite teas and coffees, and times spent with family and friends.
We talked about coffee and tea served in our kitchens, and times when we needed a container to take it “on the go.” 
Those memories of shared experiences based on a simple morning routine provided lots of love, laughter and joy during one of our recent visits. As Lady-Links, we are friends with our dear friends, and the sharing of love, laughter and joy comes naturally during our visits with them. If you have a loved one or friend in cognitive decline, “what’s in your cup” that you might share to spark memories that inspire conversations and connections? You’ll be glad you did….we were! It’s what friends are for!
