Traveling with Disabilities

6/21/2014

Some people might think traveling would be too much for a person with disabilities. We had quite an adventure, and experiences we probably wouldn't have if I didn't have some difficulties!

We met lots of people. We took our time and savored every moment. So many people are willing to help. You see the best in people, and some times the worst.

I am grateful that we had the courage to 'do it anyway'. To be able to see God's creation, and just 'be' was a terrific plan!

We have to take lots of equipment. You never know if my body can walk or if it needs to sit. Wheelchair? Walker? Crutches? An arm to lean on? Always need something.. Still, we don't want to miss anything!

The trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Monument was amazing. Altitude and flying are not a good combination. But as the days went on, I got used to all of it and found real pleasure in all of it!

Practicing Love is Patient, Love is Kind, Love keeps no record of wrongs, saved the trip. It takes a lot of patience, kindness and forgiveness to travel when your body doesn't cooperate. You want to do everything, but sometimes can't. To make wise decisions about resting, drinking plenty of water, asking for help and just 'being' takes a lot of energy sometimes. I am learning, and I am loving the journey.

An Attitude of Gratitude!

I'm so delighted to see that you are doin' your thing and that your vitality and spirit come straight through all that you do, and will continue to do, Inshallah, as we say here in Egypt. You go girl. You continue to be a light for so many.

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
