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.

The Granville Bridge 5AM


Why would anyone take, and heaven forbid, upload such a dreary photo? Well, when you're up at 5:30 with nerve pain in your foot you start to look for distractions. I used my camera lens to browse the early somewhat silent city. I found it interesting to see who and what was up and about. I always wonder, where is that taxi going? Who is on the bus and where do they work or live? What about the homeless sleeping under the bridge? What are their stories? --and the neon sign welcoming everyone to the market. Is there anyone down there setting up their vegetable and fruit stands? Can you smell freshly brewed coffee at 5:30 A.M.?--or the aroma of blueberry scones and morning glory muffins rising in the big commercial ovens? You see, there are many tales to tell in every photo. You simply must look closely and ponder the possibilities.

The blueberry scones sound pretty good to me! I love your description of your town coming awake and starting their day :O).
