Nature does not bestow virtue; it is an art to become good... For the attainment of this boon, but not in the possession of it, were we born; and even in the best of men, before you refine them by instruction, there is but the stuff of virtue, not virtue itself. -- Seneca Sign in to see full entry.

Just For Laughs
I thought this was cute. I was in the store, and I saw a woman picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead." Sign in to see full entry.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong. - William J. H. Boetcker Sign in to see full entry.
I've been using the speech to text thing for last week or so because my eyes are getting tired from all the texts I've been sending out to my friends and relatives. I thought it would be nice to teach Lisa how to do it and try to help herself with her slur problem, and it seems to be helping. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Except for her bald head, Lisa seems to be Lisa as Lisa has ever been. Mouthy, sharp of wit and word, and demanding of more than her share of the bed - or normal. She still has a few deficits that will need time to heal, but she seems to be back to herself, and this guy is eternally grateful for... Sign in to see full entry.

Things continue to look better here. Lisa still has some lingering issues, but with time, we believe that they will subside. It has been wonderful to have her home again to harass and hold; ie, normal life again. As far as the move goes, I now have the title, papers, and keys to the house we bought....

Lisa had a good night of sleep last night, and seems to be returning to normal. The slight slur is still there, but it seems to be improving. It is 'nice' here at roughly 55 degrees, but we knew that this kind of weather is just another reminder of where we live. We've had some snow a week back, but... Sign in to see full entry.

For a few days, I'm going to keep you updated with short posts on how Lisa is doing before attempting to re-establish my presence here. As dedicated as I am to writing every day, I haven't written spit since the day this happened. Why? Because in the scheme of Life, my writing means nothing to me vs... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you. All of You!
We are gonna bed down early tonight just to talk, something we have not been able to do for a while. My little 'bald eagle' has taken her meds and shower, so we have time to just talk about things again. We appreciate your thoughts, prayers, calls, emails, and responses here. Lisa says 'thx!' and...

Thank you for your comments, emails, and calls. I had to run down to the local store to get a few things for Lisa, and then I helped her take a shower. She is a bit unsteady yet, so I supported her as she did her thing. I wanted to take a photo of her with the dogs all around her, and she said NO! I... Sign in to see full entry.
