I can find so many things to be sad about each day with Caleb...how he struggles, how he seems like a little boy now; helpless and confused, how he has changed, and we each have followed...new people, each one of us. I have been giving alot of thought to the choices we have every moment of the day, and recognize that that is where our power lies. Thought is all we have. Every thing that exists now was once just a thought in some persons's thinking process. I am trying to catch myself, to bend the truth to another truth, and to choose a better thought. It takes disipline and often times all the energy I can muster up. But when I can change my thought, I can change my outlook; and Caleb and Kai and Max and I look safe for awhile.
My goal is joy!

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:

We could not have come so far without this legion of support from all of you, in Wellfleet and beyond. We are sincerely grateful.

Love it Sharyn...and love you!
Sharyn,
Hang in there...this new year coming may bring change, peace and acceptance.
Wishing you more happy thoughts and good karma!
I'm happy knowing you are all safe. And I just wanted to add a thought on Kai's other mom. I have a feeling she is more universal and even as a little boy Kai was wise enough to sense the connection to and of all caring people. I find that somehow comforting knowing that other moms look out for our children. From one mom to another, stay safe.
Happy birthday Kai!

Truth can look differently depending on your perspective. The glass can be half empty and half full, both are true. But one speaks of what is and the other of what isn't.
It does take energy to but you are so right in the knowledge your power lies in choices.
You can continue to build on what is and can't do much about what isn't.
Wishing you the fullness of joy and glasses that are always at least half full.
Dear Sharyn,
I hope for you and the boys lots of JOY in the New Year.
Keep plugging along and get the cutting bed started. I find that gardening makes me smile.
Hope Gardens, Patches of Hope. I don't know----whatever fits.
Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays to all here and there.
Love and best wishes,
Penny
Wishing you joy!
Sharyn, Caleb, Kai, Max, and faithful bloggers:
I'm heading out of town to spend Christmas with relatives, but didn't want to leave without wishing everyone Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Joy, Peace, and Happiness in the New Year.
Safe holiday journeys, everyone!

Hi Sharyn & boys - thinking of all of you and wishing only the best for you in the New Year! We are all here for you....xo Dana & Mike (Diamond Point, NY)
Sharyn,
Merry Christmas to you and the boys!
We did not get our "stuff" together this year to send out a card...maybe later?
Wishing you lots of love and happines, and strength to take on the more challenging moments.
Lots of love from my home to your home.
Love,
Claus
Sharyn,
Remember this line from Forrest Gump..."Life is like a box of chocolates, you just never know what you're going to get." Think about it, did you ever get a bad chocolate? There are just different ways to always enjoy life....
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

My dear Sharyn,
You are still walking that twisty turn-y road; it started out black and gloomy and your eyes were blinded to what the future held....but as you have struggled along, carrying a mighty load, there have been rays of sunshine peeping through, giving you a glimpse of what's around the bend....and now you are in that purple hour between night and day.....you can see, but it is a struggle to accept what your eyes tell you. Many things have changed since you were first thrust upon that road, change for good and changes for bad. But you have come so far, and so close to the light and are getting closer with each struggling step you take.
Some things that have not changed:
You have your sons, you have yourself,you have your family, and you still have us, walking beside you, watching over you, and sending you love and light beyond all measure.
Merry Christmas to all of you and to all of us here in this wonderful family. I wish everyone peace and joy and a safe New Year.
As always, with hope,
peg from PA
