Welcome to my blog. I have had ALS for 10 years now.


Since I started this blog in June 2008 I've had amazing feedback. Family, friends, people from all over North America, Australia, Scotland, England, and places I can't recall, have commented, encouraged and corresponded. I had no idea when Cynthia taught me how to set this up, how much I would love posting and how many people would read it. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped propel this therapeutic exercise into a daily routine. All of you, both friends and visitors, are now part of my blog family. Welcome.

Carol Ships

Once again the carol ships will be out for December. I have watched them every year since 1984. From my house on Burnaby Mountain I saw them for 3 nights during the season, on their way to Deep Cove or Belcarra. Now, since I've moved to an apartment overlooking False Creek I see 2 or 3 boats every evening as they sail up to the Science Centre dome. To add to the spirit of the season,
my sister and friends are coming on Dec. 6th to set up my Charlie Brown tree and sort through some of my Christmas ornaments. I can't have much on display as I've become clumsy(more so than usual) and have increased hyper reflex. Now this is enough about Christmas until December--I promise.

Ah! The Carol Ships... a pleasant reminder that Christmas is not far off now. My, how the year has sped by... the Holy Season is already nearly again upon us.

Karyn, are you going to book passage on a Carol Ship cruise?

Great blog, by the way.
