I HAVE A GOAL
I am happy to report that Chie seems to have taken to a new light. She seems to be in good spirits. She told me the other day, "I HAVE A GOAL. MY GOAL IS TO BE INDEPENDENT BY THE TIME I GO HOME IN DECEMBER." Sounds like winner to me and I know, with the love and support she has been shown by all of you, she can do it! It made me cry to see what a trooper she is. Attitude is everything hers couldn't be better. She gives no less than a hundred percent everyday, something few can say though we all strive to. Extraordinary, in every sense of the word.
Lets help her keep things positive while she tackles this next goal!

So much of this recovery is due to all that you contribute, the letters, the food, company, conversation, donations, and the love and care you give her that can only be felt. I just again wanted to let you know how much it means to us and that it does not go unnoticed.
Thank you with all our hearts

Chie had a visit from a Buddist Monk who came and spoke to her. She really enjoyed it and enjoyed learning about the beliefs she had been raised with. It was good for her to hear his views and how they deal with some of lifes setbacks and difficulties. She has a tremendous respect for their ability to view things in such a positive light and it seems to have worked as this was the turning point for her to getting back on the upside things. We feel blessed to have had him take the time to care about her life and future so much.
Grapevine Grapefest
We spent a wonderful Saturday going to the Grapevine Grapfest with our friend Akiko. Thank you for taking us. Chie enjoyed the wonder weather and getting outside, the sounds of live bands, peole talking, a taste of wine, and the dances performed. We had a good time gettin out and doing something fun. It was just what we needed to give us a boost. She was rather tired but I think she felt it was worth it.

It was a wonderful night under the moon last Thursay at the Aroretum. We arrived late, AS USUAL, but didnt let it damper our night. We watched the big and beautiful harvest moon rise up about the horizon as we drove eastbound to get there. Once there we made our way to the big and full floating moon surrounded by happy voices, applause and music. It was nice to take some time and lay out on the grass. Chie really really really loved the music and harp player. With her piano experience she knew every note played. I watched as she hummed along with it swaying her head, Im sure remembering old times and causing her brain to tap into all that is there, just waiting to be found again. Then came the Haiku session where we all spent time racking our brains to come up with one. Not too easy for us even though we were given several excellent examples by other visitors. 5 - 7 - 5 , statement about the season. Stumped us for a while but we did manage to muster one up each and for Sheila our assisstant who motivated us all to help her come up with one for her. Unfortunately we ran out of time to share it with you all. Once we got it , we played with it, or rather Chie and Akiko did until it made fun of me ,,, maybe, ,,, I got a little lost with all the renditions, so you will have to ask them if they remember.
Another wonderful evening to say the least.
Thank you with all our hearts
