My little red tether is my anchor in running with my friends. A beautiful guide dog has been my tether/anchor in mobility and independence for 17 years: 1. Pantera 2. Cricket, and now my beautiful 3. Georgina (Georgie). A life of family and friends is my joy and anchor in life.

Electric box to flowers
If you've read my blog you might remember last June Cricket and I were skipping up these stairs (she wasn't in harness - she wants me to clarify :) and I ran smack into this electric box. I hit it and was knocked down and had a lovely concussion. We contemplated options ... Cricket could work more around the yard, I could use my cane around the yard more frequently, I could wear a padded helmet :), we could pad the electric box or we could put flowers around it so that I would bump into the flowers rather than the electric box. Steve was all about anything that would protect my head. I was all about what might look the prettiest ... yay, for flowers!
Now, as I water my flowers and pass these pots I smile and think of what they represent. What electric box has turned into flowers for you? Its kind of like turning lemons into lemonade :).

Great attitude and creative problem solving. I tried, but my brain is too fried from work to think of a way I made lemonade lately! Also, I linked to your blog in one of my recent posts about tandem cycling, which I see you do a fair amount of.
