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.

Move it move it..

I was mistaken. Yesterday's temperature for the first day of autumn was not 100 degrees. It was 104 degrees. Not humid; just hot hot hot.

For the first time, Bob made me so angry tonight, and I made him angry too. He told my son that I was treating him mean. What happened? I'll tell you what happened. Bob lays on his back and doesn't move; doesn't scootch around; doesn't wiggle; nothing by himself. Not that he can't, because he can. He chooses not to move. I want him to come home, and if he doesn't start moving, he's not going to get strong enough to have any endurance to stand or walk with a walker. So...what happened...I was getting impatient with his lack of motivation to roll on his side, and, he was getting mad at me for being impatient. So, I left. I went to the dining hall to listen to a guy who plays old country music. Many many moons ago, he opened for Johnny Cash. He grew up close to Johnny Cash's homestead.

Pray for me to regain my patience, and, pray for Bob to willfully move.

One day at a time...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM Joel Osteen
"Heavenly Father, I know what you've put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you've given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I'm ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
