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.

Boredom is setting in...

Bob has intellectually improved to the point that he's getting bored sitting around all day. I am visiting with him most of the day; however, from 1pm to 5pm, I am not. He was sitting on the "pot" when I arrived this evening. He said he was telling the nurses anything to get out of the wheelchair and not back in bed because he was so bored.

Aunika and I visited Bob this evening. We left around 6pm. He wanted me to come back after dropping Aunika off at the house. We left him watching tv in the lounge. There is a big window that looks out at the parking lot. When I returned, he was sitting in the same spot, looking out the window for me. I felt like he was wagging his tail when I arrived.

We worked a little on memory. He was hot and cold on some of the same memory questions that I've worked on in the past. Thank goodness, he finally remembers we live in Roseburg, Oregon, and he believes it.

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."
