Celebrate the season with joy, love, and hope !!

Today I feel blessed for all I have been given - a devoted, loving husband, Dan; three sons home for Christmas for a week, Sam, Joe, and Tim.  They are very helpful, very lively, and keep it fun.  My dear friends and family who are always there for a helping hand.  Letters of support from near and far, my kind employer, Providence College, all the staff at the ALS clinic, and so many others who help me live my life with quality!   I also humbly appreciate our warm, accessible home, good food, hugs, and the beauty of the winter snow!

I am also grateful for the following:  Red Rover (my wonderful Permobil 300 wheelchair, which even works in the snow!); my sleek black accessible ramp van with its handcontrols, my sturdy shower chair, my old walker which still gets a little workout each day, my disability parking placard,  and all the other little adaptations that help me get through the day.  I am grateful I live in a time and place where these things are possible!

We will send a mighty prayer of gratitude to God on Christmas Eve Mass. God's blessings for all my readers!
