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.

Bob knows...

Bob summed up how he feels and showed how aware he is of what is happening (rather, what has happened) when he quoted the "happy" chant. I started he memory off by saying, "Zip", and t said , "zip zip zippy, zap zap zappy." Bob paused for a moment. I encouraged him to keep going. He said, "I'm all f***ed up. I'm happy happy happy." I don't know about you, but I feel, knowing that about himself will give him motivation to work on brain activities to improve memory. If he wasn't aware, then he wouldn't feel the need to improve.
I talked with the physician assistant today. She is thinking of holding t until next Friday to work on strength. You know, at this point, two more days will not make much difference in improving his strength, so, I think I'm going to put my foot down, and bring him home on Tuesday.
PARTY
There will be a one-year Survival Party, May 29th for those who need more time to plan. That is Memorial weekend, so you'll have a four-day weekend. More details will be coming.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
