Hello Friends,
Wow man…hard to believe it’s been close to 6 months since I have made the time to sit here and update my favorite
website in the world. I guess I've been playing with that Facebook way to much. Ha!

So much has happened and there is so much to share that I will try to keep it as short and sweet as possible. That and I
want to look through some of this year’s best Art & photo’s  to create a movie for our enjoyment.

As for myself, I’m doing much better than I ever expected (Compared to my last update!). I can now walk and get around
on my own! Just 4 months ago a doctor told me I may never work or walk again. This was such a mental blow that I
refused to accept it. With the help of prayer, therapy and determination I have surpassed the expectations of both
myself and the doctors.

I am still handicapped in my arms, hands, and feet but if you saw me on the street you would never know. Aside from the
cane I use that is. Don’t ask me to play a guitar either. Every time I try, I get mad and just want to crash the damn thing
against the closest solid object I see. Ha!

I spend a great deal of my time now working on my escapes. The escape I speak of is Art. Something about that Art
Zone just carries me away to that untouchable place.

Right now I can feel my hands beginning to act out due to this typing so I am going to close with a poem I wrote this
morning. I have to save some hand energy for the movie I want to create and share with you today. God if you only
knew how much fun and peace this brings. I can only wish that it delivers the same to you.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday my Friends.

Secret Place
I found a place so free, so far away...a place only I can see.
Run, Cry, Laugh, Rest... I spread to the ground like seeds.

This place I've found is all that matters I’m free...
Untouchable I have become, without any worry in the world.

Time to smile, now only I am left to judge this trial.
What I need, is all that’s left...this is how it shall be.

The sky is a place that takes me away.
I can see everything just disappear...O’ takes my breath I say.

Look back just in time… see you smile, even through the miles.
Time to rest, to hide my face… I’ve found my happy secret space.

Peace and Love,
Me
