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.

What comes next?

Bob was roaming the halls again today looking for my daughter and me and his truck. He swore he had his keys. Once again, he's determined to get home.



The next thing we need to work on is the order of doing daily tasks. While getting ready for bed tonight, the nurse would ask Bob what he would do next to get ready for bed, like, after they took off his shirt, what would he do next. He didn't have a clue. He didn't know to take his shoes off to go to bed. Now I know my next cognitive lesson.



Cognitively, Bob was "blank" tonight. He told me he's learning, so just tell him the answers to the questions, (his birthday, the state we live in, etc...) He didn't know any of the answers.

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."
