One Fine Day

Hi Family and Friends,
We've been home for a week now and things are going pretty well. Mike is getting stronger. We've been walking. The first walk was 10 minutes in length. Tonight we walked for 20 minutes. It felt great to be outside and be surrounded by fresh air.
All day I have been waiting to blog because I was excited to share a story with you. We had someone come to the house this morning to clean the gutters and windows. He even helped move some heavy planters for me. I know that you won't believe this...but, his name is Angel. YEP! We met an ANGEL today. I have added Angel to our growing list of recent new friends with incredible names. Mylove, Cherish, and now...Angel. These names all evoke feelings of tenderness, gentleness, and caring. All the love, care and support that you continue to give Mike and me is connected in some way to these names. Love is the spiritual connection that continues to link us with the most positive kind of energy. It feels as though you are encircling us with your acts of loving kindness.
I can't wait to meet the next new friend. Should we take bets on what wonderful new name will end up on the list? Tomorrow we head back to the hospital for a check-up. Let's all make it a GREAT DAY! Thanks for caring and sharing.
Love, Cookie

Hi Mike and Cookie,
You have more than 1 angel in your lives - how cool that they 'really work' for you!!! Each day when I read about how great things are going for you guys, you remind me to live with intention. It is that personal accountablity that adds wonder and value to each day for me. I find I sit back more and know that I am taking it all in on purpose. Now, you need to add Angel of the morning to your CD! What a mix!
love, mari and barry

Good morning Mike & Cookie,
Susie & I have been thinking of you every day as we read your blog and are so thankful that you're doing well. You both are incredible people and WILL be dancing in the streets soon! As we read about your walks outside it makes us realize how important the simple things can be to us all. I look forward to the day when we the guys can hook up for another fishing trip with you. I'll never forget that long weekend and ALL the designer gear you showed up with. no doubt about it, you outdressed us all, even Dennis (but on a fishing trip that wasn't hard to do).
As I read about Angel, I believe that you, Cookie & your family have a very special angel looking over you & all will be good.
we love ya,
Barry & Susie
