I don't know if I will be able to keep up the pace I had in November but I love being able to do all the things I've dreamt about. Just not all in one month.
I have already shared about the Board Meeting, Fundraiser and Christmas Parade. The next Monday evening I was asked to speak at Our Masters Men Rehabilitation Camp. These guys are struggling with all kinds of addictions and have made the decision to get their life straightened out in many ways. They were so attentive and kind. Asked many questions and we discussed many things that would help them stay on track and most of all that there is hope for them to turn things around.

The next day was truly a dream come true. I have been wanting to visit Siskin Hospital's spinal cord injury patients for almost four years. I was so excited. I was able to visit with not only the spinal cord physical therapy session but also stroke and brain injury physical therapy. I would go again in a heartbeat. I tried to talk one young lady into running for Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee 2020 but all she wanted to do was get back to her classroom and teach. I couldn't blame her. You could tell she loved and missed her students. But what a sweetheart.
This sweet lady thought I was so beautiful. I told her it was the crown. "Here, you put it on and tell me if you don't feel more beautiful." So I crowned her. She said, " Wow, it works. How does that happen?" "It's magic", I said.
Wednesday I was off to Laurelbrook Nursing Home. I love people of all ages and to be able to brighten their day, brightens mine. When one lady found out she was three years younger then me, she went to her room and put on makeup. I thought it was so cute.
The next Monday the Elementary School was my destination so I could read to 80 first graders. I asked if anyone had any questions and 80 hands went up. So I started at the back and worked my way up. I still had time to read a book or two. Soon I will be going to the High School. I'm sure there will be crickets when I ask that question.
Then I ended the month with a tour of the Permobil wheelchair factory in Lebanon. Such nice people and a beautiful facility. My husband was ready to move and go to work there.
WHEW!!!!!
