Well, I’ve got to push through tired days like today, and concentrate on the positive…gather the inner strength like my friend Lorma. Lorma is waiting for a heart double-lung, and is living on oxygen 24/7 right now. Even though her life is limited to a 50′ cord inside the house, Lorma still has a positive outlook. Since Lorma is new to the area, I took her and her mom on a little tour of downtown Mountain View today. Much to my surprise, the wheelchair fit nicely in my car, and we had a pleasant afternoon going about the shops. Lorna’s mom kindly treated us to lunch. Later, I went on a 20-minute walk into the hills behind my house, and cooked a eggplant-tofu dish. Dave and I enjoyed the dish over cooked wild rice that Miki had brought from Minnesota. It was a very healthy meal! Stacey, from Belmont
