I love George. And I never cease to be amazed by the depth of insight that you have gained through suffering and difficulty. You are a daily inspiration.

I just came across your blog and had to leave a comment. I think George is a great name! I have a weird thing about naming inanimate objects...George is a go-to for a lot of things for me :)
What you said about accepting things we said would never happen is really key...I've learned to never say never. Seems like each time I say, "oh, that'll never happen." or "I'll never do that"...I do!

You know, he's been good so far, but every once in awhile I'll catch him sniffing the wheels... but he hasn't marked yet!

:) I know what you mean... I used to say "that's the plan" when talking about things with friends, but found every time I did, the plan changed! I'm getting much better at not making my own plans and just going with the flow.

I agree with previous comments about George being more steady, and reliable, then a lot of men. As all of my ex-girlfriends will attest to.

It is good to read that Riley isn't jealous of George.

Has Riley "marked" George as his part of his territory yet?

thank you for encouraging me to never say never. i think you are so right but i get this idea in my mind that i have plans and i know exactly what i know and do not know about my future. the things i think i want or do not want. i am so encouraged by this post, and also a little convicted- which doesn't necessarily feel good, but i know that it feels right. i will probably blog about this soon, and of course, give you credit for getting me thinking. :)

I know just what you mean.� Sometimes when you're not "working" at an actual "job", it's hard to see how you're contributing to society.� It has taken me the better part of the 4 years I've been a stay-at-home mom to realize that my "job" is my kids .... I'm contributing to their growth and enrichment�(physical, educational, spiritual, mental)�... which, in turn, will hopefully contribute to society one day!� Let's just hope that their contribution is a positive one : )

I'm so going to put some candy in the little basket now, to round out the visual :)

I think a cane could make you look sophisticated... like a professor who walks about campus with a cane and a pipe. Of course, I never really pulled off that look, but I tried!!! :*

I love it... I try to go for understated, as if I could make that contraption less noticeable, and you all think I should pimp it out! :) Maybe I'll decorate it at Christmas :)

What's the saying? Something like "We make plans and God has a good laugh." :-P

George is probably the most stable guy I've ever committed to...

I love the name Hugo... makes me think of Hurley on Lost [love that show!]. I hope your mom comes around, too, if not for her then for your piece of mind!

I'm hoping the laptop comes soon, too... I think it's now safe to say the salesman LIED about the quick turnaround to make a sale!!!

Tell your dad I think he's cool. 8-)

And yes, I think it's the midwestern work ethic that makes not working feel so strange...

I'm sure that's tough as a mom because you don't want limitations for him but, truly, I'm finding that giving in to the aids that make me seem more disabled actually gives me more freedom. Just one of those give and take things...

:) I do that sometimes on other blogs where you have to put your name in... happens to the best of us!

*the part about being a productive member of society was just part of the process of letting go of working... a job is just part of feeling like you contribute. Starting the blog helped with that greatly, and over time I got used to the idea that a job just wasn't how I was meant to contribute. That feeling was just part of the process, I think.

Seriously, whoever thought to put wheels on a walker deserves an award.

"George rocks" cracked me up! Riley's going to get jealous of all this George talk pretty soon. :)

He is much handier than I was prepared to admit at first, and once I got over the pride thing he became irreplaceable!

Exactly! What's that they always say about the best laid plans?
