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.

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine. Ralph Waldo Emerson

1963--winning high point trophy at Pacific National Exhibition. Sugarfoot, my horse, was a great friend and very clever. She would often open the gates and lead the other horses to greener pastures. Needless to say, she wasn't a favorite of our neighbours.

This is my brother Ken. Cheryle and I once babysat him and now he babysits me. LOL.
