Glee!

Matthew Morrison
One of the shows I love to watch lately is GLEE!  I didn't enjoy it so much the first time I saw it.  I will admit I only watched because Josh Groban played a small part on one of the episodes.  Thanks to my friend Raychel, I am now a huge fan.  Every episode is funny and always emotional.  My favorite character is Will "Shu" played by Matthew Morrison he is a "HOTTIE"  

You should check it out!

He was that little boy...

Eric Jr. age 1 1/2!  Look at that smile!
He was such a cute little boy! 
He was that little boy...
who would sneak in my room in the morning and stand next to the bed and gently tap my arm  until I would open my eyes so he could climb in bed to cuddle!
He was that little boy!
My son who is now 17, soon to be 18!

Anniversary?

I just realized that yesterday would have been my 25th anniversary!  I've been divorced for almost 5 years and I realized now July 28th just comes and goes and I don't think of it! 
It's tough going through a divorce, but I made it!  I know I'm much better off and I'm so much happier now.  The divorce was hardest on my son. 
I'm not sure what my future holds, but I know My Heavenly Father is in control!

Things you don't say to someone with a disability....

I really should write a book!  "101 things you don't say to someone with a disability" 
I've been a wheelchair user for over 20 years.  I thought I'd heard it all, until someone said to me "I wish I could be like you and just lie around and let people do things for me"  My quick response "You don't mean that, I mean think about it!"  " I'll trade ya"  I really don't mean the last part though! 
I'll keep my own challenges and keep looking up!

Just a Nice Guy

I needed more repairs done to my wheelchair. My medical insurance contracts with National Seating and Mobility. I really enjoy the gentleman that comes to my home to do the repairs. He came a couple of weeks ago to assess my lift and while he was here I asked him about problems with my chair. Lately, I've been having trouble making my chair turn to the left. Frequently, while trying to go straight it turns right. I should mention that I use a head control to steer my chair. The nice technician was able to quickly assess that my bearings were shot in the front left wheel. He went to his truck to put an order in for parts. He returned today to replace the parts. He says he really loves his job and I can tell because he's always smiling.

Josh Groban!

Okay!  So I love Josh Groban, anyone who knows me knows that!  I love his voice!  His new album will be out this fall, so there's definitely a concert in my future.

Here goes...

I've been setting up my Blog for a few weeks and I didn't like anything I did so I scrapped it all and we'll start with this for now!
