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.

Should I cry or jump for joy...

I don't know whether to cry or jump for joy. T's discharge date from Vancouver is March 16th. After the dreaded "team meeting" (at least it was in Roseburg), the team decided that Bob would benefit from an extended three weeks. That makes me want to cry, but then again, only those that are deemed "worthy" of progressing are granted an extended stay. First, a patient has to be accepted by having the potential to do well, then, an extension is granted only if the patient has the potential to do exceptionally well. So, I guess I should jump for joy; however, I want to cry. He's so far away. I can't see him everyday as usual.

I took the time, today, to finish writing an article that I'm going to submit for publishing in Newsweek. Wish me luck. Newsweek get hundreds of submissions a month and only four are published. If you want to read it, I will post in on my other website, http://www.professorjan.com/. Click on articles and resources, then click on American Spectator. Read other articles if you wish.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I choose to trust You. I cast my cares on You. I give You my plans, dreams, and desires for the future. Thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your peace as I wait patiently to see Your plan unfold. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
