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.

With progress comes setbacks...

A urinary tract infection has been added to Bob's list of "what else can go wrong". I suggested that a UA be done yesterday, because Bob was feeling such urgency to "go", even though, he had a catheter. Sure enough, a positive UTI. That could explain the "cloudy" thinking yesterday and today.


Bob was in real good spirits tonight. We had a few good belly laughs. It's been a while since I saw him cheerful.


Bob has progressed to using the standing lift to transfer to and from his wheelchair, instead of using the overhead/sling lift. Yeah!


Pray for me to regain my patience, and pray for Bob to willfully move. One day at a time...


*NEW: A PRAYER FOR TODAY from Joel Osteen
Father God, thank You for giving me power to overcome fear. I choose to face fear head on and drive it out of my life. Show me any areas of my life where fear is holding me back so that I can press forward into the life of victory You have for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
