Stranded on a Deserted Island
**THROWBACK POST**
June 23 2013:
Lillian’s Imagination Question tonight …
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you like to have with you? She says she would like to have food, her phone and a place to live …. and she had to add a fourth one … A name for the island. Asked her what she would name the island. Her answer … Lillian’s Fairy Land Secret Island …. Sounds like a wonderful, blissful place to me!

May Your Heart Overflow with Love and Gratitude
October 26 2016:
Every move we make, every simple task we do for ourself is a miracle … if we choose to see it that way.
Clipping one’s nails. Simple enough. Yet, at 15 years old not something Lillian has been able to do at all. Due to fine motor issues and a slight tremor when focusing on fine motor issues she has not been able to do it. (One of my favorite pictures of Lillian from this past September. Doing something else she had not been able to do before … getting air for a great picture!)
A few months ago she said she was ready to try doing this simple task and asked how we should begin. I suggested she practice holding the clippers to her finger and toes and simply practice different positions, bending to her toes, and squeezing the clippers in that position.
She’s been doing that and yesterday she was ready to try it. I instantly felt patience fill my heart as I said, “Let’s do it.” Seriously, this was practically a half day task as she wanted to try and paint her own toenails also.
Although, she was not able to cut any nails this time, she was able to get the clipper underneath the nail as I guided (I didn’t want to chance accidentally nipping the skin). However, she did paint some of her toenails. It was incredibly hard and stressful work for her. Seriously.
May you rejoice today and let yourself feel the blessings of miracles that happen every single minute. And, may your heart overflow with gratitude and love …. for yourself and your fellow humans …. xoxo
