commitment to helping

2/8/11 Tuesday
Raven and I went to feed the horses, Cookie Dough looks good, though he is shedding a ton!
I need to remember to focus and narrow down my tasks and interests, do not know if this is possible. We need to simplify our days and create the room for balance.
Jewel went to the Shriners out reach clinic this morning, she was fitted with her new AFOs but we did not get them today. They need more adjustment and then they will mail it out to us. We are looking forward to this. Getting Jewel's foot in neutral and being able to stand with the support in the proper places is very important for successful standing and weight baring!
There are so many things that need doing, planing, organizing and so many good things yet to experience. Just not enough ours in a day or energy in a body. I am coming to realize that I can not do everything at once. There is planing and different things to be done for different seasons of our lives. It is consistency we need to work on and remember to have fun!

quotes that inspire today;

"It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him" -John Steinbeck

It is often the boring repetitive sharpening of our skills that will ultimately enable us to reach our goals. -author unknown (found on the wall of Baldwin high school band room).

The TV news is on and so much pain in the world, my contribution is to love and nurture my children. Provide for my family. Keep believing for Jewel to be strong and mobile as we commit to helping her reach this goal. We love our children and they know that they are valued and loved, admired and respected.
