Tonight is a new beginning- I realized with certainty that I am going to grow old. Along this journey I have not been convinced that Caleb and I would make it. I was driven by fear. ...this is the nature of this game.......but tonight I have clarity of life. I am now looking forward to the day in the kitchen when Max comes around and I leak with laughter over somethng he has said..or I cry with the tender understanding of a simple sentence that is uttered out of a shared thought that Kai and I pass between us ......and I would never miss the new beginning of Caleb - whatever it might be. Life in it's tragedies and it's triumps is still to me so rich and vibrant...I cannot miss it.
This journey of ours is not like any other. I sit before you naked and scared and alive and breathing and not sure of anything I knew before. We are jumping in - feet first, heart closely behind, with the hopes and fears that all of us share along this path -
and with the dream of something better!

A BIG Thank You
In this season of giving thanks and celebrating family togetherness, I wish to extend a warm thank you to everyone who has been involved in a myriad of ways with my son, Caleb Potter, and his recovery. On July 4, he was involved in a skateboarding accident in our little hometown of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, that caused him serious injuries. He came home from Spaulding Rehab in Boston just before Thanksgiving. Through the blog we started:

Well, my tree is toast and I so wish I could burn it with you this year. I've come to learn that every Christmas is different no matter how hard we try to have the same...and every New Year is different--so here we go! Love to you and Caleb, Kai and Max--El
Sharyn,
You are such an inspiration to so many. Thank you for forging on, sometimes through some pretty deep snow. There's a lot of joy ahead.

Life is a mystery and no matter which path we choose or which is laid out for us there will always be twists and turns and even a few steps backward but the strength and hope and love exists, keeping the momentum going. Just look to the sky and feel the warmth from the sun even on a frigid day.
I wish you all here and there a very Happy New Year.
Penny
And with the new year will come many new, great things.
Still thinking of all of you, and wishing you peace and good fortune in 2009...
