With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 87 - April 5: Broken Bones

My parents recently returned from a trip to visit my two brothers, David in Portland and Pete in San Francisco.  Just before leaving, Mom took a fall, breaking three ribs and a bone in her knee which was discovered on x-ray today.  Crutches are not prescribed for those of a certain age, so she must remain in a wheelchair until her knee heals.  We found this place online and picked up her wheelchair today.  As upsetting as it is to see my normally spry, active mother confined to a wheelchair, I'm grateful that we now know why she's been in such pain - and that she'll be back on her own two feet before summer.
