Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

o-e-o o...-um

Sixteen weeks and four days. Seems longer than that. I didn't realize, until I posted this photo, yesterday, that the caption on the magazine, "Too Big To Fail", is a perfect moto for Bob. I think I'll frame this magazine cover.

T was funny today. He was using a hairbrush as a microphone to sing Asleep at the Wheel songs. Even when he talked, he acted like he was on stage using the mic to speak to the audience.

We played Connect Four again today for cognitive therapy. Bob finally asked me a question about the rules. He also, finally, asked one of his nurses a question. To this day, he always "went with the flow". He never asked questions, because his brain couldn't think in that direction (inquiry); which means, more synapses are connecting! Yeah!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
