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.

"He's my hero"...

I only was able to see my T for a short time today. He is doing well. We ate lunch together, as we do most days. He has been ordered that he can be sitting in his wheelchair for no more than one hour at a time; three hours total in one day. Why? Sitting on his pressure wound for too long is not allowing it to heal as quickly as they would like. So, he is in bed, lying flat for the majority of the day, which adds to his further decline of strength and flexibility. I try to do stretching while I'm with him, but he likes to "cop" an attitude. He has a really good nurse that is with him most days that is helping him stretch, as well as work on his brain.

I heard a song today that reminds me of my T. "He's my hero"


A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father God, today I choose to give You thanks. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for setting me free. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus! I know You have a good plan for me. Thank You for leading and guiding me and for keeping me close to You all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
