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.

Determined...

Bob had everyone on their toes today. He is determined to go home. At one point, he was heading outside to find his truck. The nurses had to guide back inside. Later, he wheeled himself into the bathroom and closed the door. He even closed the door to his room. He had to be searched for. When found, he was trying to stand. The nurses were in a panic. Now, when I'm not there, they keep an eagle's eye on him and a loud alarm. I think his determination, though, will get him up and walking soon.


T agreed on getting a little puppy. One of the nurses' dog had a litter a week ago, then was killed by a car. She brought the puppies to the center. Mistake number one: I held one. Mistake number two: They were so cute. Mistake number three: Bob thought it was cute too. We have three weeks to come up with a name. The puppy is all black with a few white spots and is male. It is a beagle/boxer mixed.

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

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."
