Never Under-Estimate the Power of Hope

anything could happen & that everything would // Cheryl Strayed
Life has surely been sweet and strong lately. I'm finding a way to weave gratitude into everything.  For instance the stumbling, the correcting the course, the difficulty finding balance.  This time around, the wisdom of knowing the journey we've been on and the path of healing, courage, of beauty, of love we are on. They've helped me stretch my soul.

Cruising With Lew from Jenn S on Vimeo. Video shows our guy stretching his calf muscles 14 days post botox/heel cord procedure. He's still really weak in the shin muscles (from years of such tightness in his heel cord) so we've been trying to help him develop strength by the stretches and activities at home.  Lots and lots of PT with his fabulous therapist Ms. L!  It's still so hard for him but he is a persistent little guy.  He does not give up.  He gets up day in and day out and begins again (and again and again). Thank you so much for teaching me the most powerful form of resilience training.

and starting off the Memorial Weekend with Lew, the Bruiser....  He had an incident in his activity chair whereby Annie our dog knocked him down (his brakes weren't on cuz we were moving toward the house) and consequently he hit his forehead on the corner of the ramp wall.  Coupla stitches later and a CT scan to be sure there wasn't a concussion. It was a deep puncture...on his forehead. Suffice it to say we had a lot of nice cuddles the rest of the weekend.  On this day, I surrender my heart to possibility, to listening, to asking, to helping me, to hope.
