Here & Back Again

This is a picture that Sunni took of me at Shoshone Point last year. We walked the 1 mile plus to watch the sun rise . How I long to be able to hike again. I am getting better slowly. My legs are finally stronger than they have been since my ordeal at being in ICU at Flagstaff Medical Center.

I do hope that in time I will be able to go back again and see the sun rise at this beautiful point.I think of how far I have come in the last 4 weeks. I find it amazing that I have only been out of the hospital that short of time.

The fund raiser they did for me here at the Grand Canyon Park, made me more aware of the small community we have here and how in time of need they are there to support you, whether if they know you or not. You don't find that in today's world.So for me it was very touching to my heart. I am forever grateful for the help I have received from the people here.

I heard a story the other day, a friend I don't see often, when he heard that the fund raiser was for me, he gave his last dollar to donate to the fund. He didn't want a raffle ticket, he just wanted to give something to the fund to help me.So as I said, I have seen so much kindness, helpful ,spiritual people here that it gives the heart something to think about. I found a place with friends put you before the dollar... a rare treasure to be found in today's world.

So, I titled this Here & Back Again, because I have made a spiritual journey , not only when I was in a coma for 2 1/2 weeks, but even now I am seeing the world with new eyes, with a new heart, and no matter what may come my way in the future. I know I have friends I can depend on Thu thick & thin. And that is another rare gift that one doesn't always find.

So to all those people, I will be forever grateful that you have come into my life,even if only for a short while. Your acts of kindness will never be forgotten.
