It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

Meghan had an incredibly busy day: Physical therapy began at 8am, followed by occupational therapy at 10am, speech therapy at 11am, lunch group at noon and Cognition Group at 1pm. Cognition group is where the older kids (7th grade thro' high school) get together and play team cognitive games. Meghan was on a team with a very sweet girl from China who was quite outgoing. (A good thing because Meghan isn't very chatty yet because she is still pretty difficult to understand). We had a two hour break from her IV meds and we got permission to go "off campus". Radiation begins on Monday, and I was hoping to walk there daily with Meghan in the wheelchair. I needed to know how long it would take me, so we did a trial run. The weather was beautifully sunny and about 65 degrees. Stephan and I had walked there in about 10 minutes, but it took me 23 minutes with Megs in the wheelchair. It will be quite a workout--I just never noticed those little hills before! We came home a different way, and for a treat, we detoured to Whole Foods (I didn't say it was a treat for Meghan. LOL). We did manage to pick up some fabulous organic greens for juicing tomorrow.
