In gratitude…

As I am teaching my kids (the last day before Thanksgiving break), I am thinking of being thankful (obviously!)  I am thankful for many things: my Mom, Sean, my family, and my friends.  I have a job and I think I am MOST thankful for everyone at Barwis Methods!  I am SO glad that I have found them!  I see them three days a week and they have become my pseudo-family whom I love!!!  EVERYONE there encourages me and lets me know that it is OKAY to hope for a life beyond this [wheel]chair because it IS possible.

Today is “Walking Wednesday.”  On Monday, I stood for 112 seconds.  I just need 16 more yards to clock 100 yards.  All this, on Jesse’s last day.  I told Jesse I would get a camo shirt when I get 100 yard so I hope to get that 100 yards when Jesse is there to see me do it.

Regardless if I make those 16 yards today or not, I am already thankful for the strides I have already made and will continue to make.
