The things that swirl around in my head. Some make it here, but these days most never do. There just isn’t time. Or they just don’t seem that important.

Two of our children have special needs which makes walking more challenging for them than for most people. Therefore, as a family we have learned to walk slower, watching out for uneven ground and steps up or down, reminding these two to watch how and where they are walking so no one falls.
