Happy New Year 2023

In 2022 I blogged about our 2011-2012 walk across the country again, this time sharing the adventure while acknowledging Cindy’s cognitive decline as a motivating factor for the journey.  That ended in June and I submitted less than a handful of posts since then, claiming there was little new in our situation to share.  Another reason was I had little time to write because my coverage had become sparse. I intend to reactivate this blog for 2023 with two main goals.

One is a series that elaborates on the stages of decline that occurs with dementia, hopefully with a post every month.  I would like to use this series as a springboard to get into vidcasting.  The information may also provide the foundation for a documentary that a filmmaker is working on.

The other goal is to share with you the logistical planning of future journeys I hope to take.  One type of journey will be Pedicab Pilgrimages, with plans to provide rides to mobility challenged children, such as at children’s hospitals.  The other type of journey will involve hikes in other parts of the world, encouraging others to: “Love kindness. Build community. Believe in Humanity.”  I intend to make the journey planning interactive, providing readers the ability to offer suggestions and help shape the course and activities of journeys.

A blogger is supposed to post 2-4 times a week.  That will not happen as I continue my current caregiver journey.  While I hope to have more coverage for Cindy and more time for myself in 2023, I anticipate posting at a rate more like 2-4 times a month.

Thank you for continuing to read along.

    When was the photo taken? I am easily fooled.
    You and Cindy are amazing

      It’s an older photo. The reason for the photo was to show the pedicab, but she has not had the ability to sit up in a pedicab for the past five years. I use an adult stroller now to get her around outside.
