This is Lou, writing about trip to VA. Bch with my daughter

October 25, 2007

Hi everyone! My daughter and I had a wonderful full Tues and Wed. at

the beach. Our room was wonderful and oceanside and just a few yards

from the ocean. We got there about 4pm and took 2 towels and went

and sat just far enough away from the tide so our butts wouldn't get

wet. Well, guess what? yup, not quite far enough, boy, did we

laugh! Anyhow, we sat and watched the sun going down, not saying

much, just holding hands and God knowing how much we both love Him

and his magical artwork in the clouds and heavens changing every

moment for us to enjoy it all.

Then we went to our room and changed and went back down to the dining

room (Holiday Inn) and had a lovely dinner together. Then we went

back to the room and sat on the balcony with our coffee for a long

time talking about the things we have done in our life, places we

have seen, etc.

I was really pissed off and mad about carrying around this oxygen

tubing here for the past few weeks that I have been on it and I made

it a HIGH point in my priority of this trip to lose that madness and

change it from being pissed off to being thankful for the oxygen for

BEING MY FRIEND instead of being in my way. So I have accepted it

and know I can do anything and go anywhere with it. The concentrator

was great, the extra canisters were great and all went so well. My

daughter and I have always been close but this trip was so wonderful.

REMEMBER WHAT MY MOTTO IS:??? " who am I to say no to me " . I now have

the calendar down and planning more short overnight or day trips to

see and do things I have been wanting to do and now I can. Don't

have any money much, money is JUST A THING. Must have it to do

expensive things but I don't need that. I just love nature, car

rides and just going shopping and to the store and back. Keeping my

independence is ultra important for me.

I don't know (none of us do) how long I will be here on earth, but I

do know now that I am going to make the best of it, I am not going to

change anything or my life, just enjoy every day with my family and

friends. I love this group, you guys are all so supportive and

always seem to say the right words when we are feeling depressed or

down. I thought of you all when I was gazing at the ocean and each

large wave that came in was each one of you, still full of life and

as the sun was setting, the waves shown silver on each one. It was

amazing.

Love always, Lou, Grammy Lou or
