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.

Life is about choices




Oh how I'd like to ride a bike again. Life is all about choices and it's only when you have your choices taken away that you feel loss. However, I've found that if you can find a way to replace the loss, you can carry on with less grief. When I lost the ability to walk or drive, I got a power chair. My world grew smaller but richer in detail. When I lose my voice, I'll learn to use a speech device. I know I won't like it but I'll learn to adapt and I'll be a better listener.
