Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. ~ Jeremiah 6:16
November is almost over, and while we have enjoyed the down time from therapy we still have barely scratched the surface of all the things that need doing around here. That said we have been busy. I am another year older, perhaps not wiser. At 37 I made a list of 37 things I wanted [...]
I think most North Americans are somewhat familiar with Groundhog Day. On February 2 nd we await to see if the little guy will peek out of his hole and see his shadow. Supposedly, if he sees his shadow then it is six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn’t then we will [...]
I am always crafting something and recently I crocheted this bunny for Hannah. I found her pattern for free on Raverly, you can find the pattern here. I chose to go with a slightly heavier yarn than it suggested. Only because I really loved the feel of it. It was an alpaca wool blend, [...]
You know there is always two ways to look at something, and sometimes even more than two. Last night as I tucked Joel in to bed he looked at me and said, “I can’t wait for tomorrow!” “Oh why’s that?” I asked “Cuz I get my Easy Pod!” I always try to prep him the [...]

Today is 3 years from Joel’s brain surgery. I remember thinking, all we have to do is make it through this surgery and everything will be fine. 11 hours later the surgery was over, but when I walked into the ICU to see Joel I was hit that everything was not going to be just [...]
Today is an anniversary of sorts. Three years ago today our world was turned upside down. I remember all the details of that day more vividly than I do the birth of my children. I can hear, smell, see, and feel that day almost as real as this very day. I have already shared my [...]
Not wanting to drive you all nuts with two days of, “I remember” I will drop it for part 2. Joel woke at about 5:30 and he spoke to me which was a big deal as he had gone non-verbal the day before. He was so chatty we talked about the birds that flew by the [...]
Today is a day that carries with it a torrent of memories. I remember dropping off 4 of my children at my parents’ house. I remember listening to some health show on the radio where 2 chiropractors talked about how a mis- alignment could cause headaches. I remember pulling up to the house to pick up Dave [...]
I haven’t read what Dave wrote as I am just taking a few minutes away from Joel so I apologize if I am repeating what he has already said. Brain Tumor those are two words that no parent ever wants to hear in reference to their child. They hit you like a brick wall. Nothing [...]
