We got to experience some fun new things this summer. Moving to the city gave us the opportunity to enjoy some different and relaxing activities. We’ve also been doing a lot more walking to places. I have decided its easier to walk then to try to parallel park.

We enjoyed an almost weekly picnic and story-time in the city park across from our house

An almost weekly walk to the library.

We spent a wonderful relaxing weekend at our favorite cabin.

We went to Strasburg Railroad.

 

We got our elegant recliner chairs and they are very comfortable.

 

We had a very lovely tea party at a friend’s house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed a picnic and leisurely stroll around Greenfield Park.

 

Jana had another Physical Therapy evaluation done. And the therapist recommended all new braces and night-time equipment as well as doing one session, which is 12 weeks, of therapy to make sure the equipment works like it should and to fine tune her walking. So we will once again be doing a weekly therapy run. I was a bit surprised at the feelings of unrest, worry, scared-ness, even disappointment rising up in my heart with the therapy recommendation. I guess your body never forgets the hard, the stress. I want to sound all Christian and positive and tell myself, “At least its only 12 weeks. At least you have only a 15 minute drive rather than an hour.” Which its all true but what if God wants to heal more of the trauma in my heart that came because of our accident? What if God wants my heart to experience more of Him, more freedom? I believe if I want to experience His love and care; I also need to allow my heart to feel, to experience the pain life brings my way.
