top of the morning, friends....

i hope this blog entry finds you all well. thanks so much for your continued thoughts and prayers for my dad. he was released to a nursing home last friday and is getting some much needed therapy before he can return home. his spirits are good and he's walking some without a walker. he feels he is getting stronger each day and is eager to return home to mary and his beloved dog "tiki." attached is a picture of him and his two favorite nurses - rose and toni. they were absolutely wonderful to him during his 31 day stay at the hospital.

we are only 3 weeks away from our MBA's now...time is getting short...but what a journey! we plan to finish up on sept. 23...that's the same day i plan to finish therapy--if my ortho dr. will allow it. i'm anxious to get on with another career!

i have a praise report....i walked 3/4 mile one day last week without a cane! it probably wasn't very pretty, and i know it wasn't very smooth, but every day gets a little better!

quotes for the day:

"act as if what you do makes a difference. it does."

"people who consider themselves victims of their circumstances,
will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives."
- stedman graham -

please keep the following people in your prayers as well, as they are all fighting some kind of battle:

barb moore's mom

joyce channel

mary taylor

OSP leadership

until next time...be blessed!
