Fall is definitely in the air. Actually, we may soon have a little taste of winter - temps are predicted to fall to near freezing this week. Haley, Adia, and Cara have celebrated their Fall birthdays and Dad turned 80 in September. Read "Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence" by Matthew Sanford. What an amazing journey from my perspective. Another chronicle of triumph over tragedy. I read the entire book Saturday - could not put it down. I'm curious about how others have found a life of passion and meaning after a spinal cord injury. I'm also interested in yoga. The author has studied yoga extensively and teaches classes for both the able bodied and disabled in Minnesota. He also had a wisdom about his mind-body connection that led him to resist conventional medicine's "healing stories". He replaced them with his own life promoting, positive messages. A man after my own heart!

"What we have inherited from our fathers and mothers is not all that 'walks in us.' There are all sorts of dead ideas and lifeless old beliefs. They have no tangibility, but they haunt us all the same and we can not get rid of them. Whenever I take up a newspaper I seem to see Ghosts gliding between the lines. Ghosts must be all over the country, as thick as the sands of the sea." -Henrik Ibsen, Ghosts (UAH is performing Ibsen's play "A Doll's House" this month)
