Blending Old and New Memories  Attentive Care  The swag over the window behind my Christmas tree combines old and new memories.  The celluloid reindeer were my grandfathers and the ornaments represent memories made over the years.  For me 'attentive care' means caring for each other, for friends and family and for myself with loving attention.
