Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

The DH is getting better slowly still. The trip to Hawaii was really good for him, he ate LOTS and LOTS of fresh Hawaiian fruits, including nuts and avocados. He didn't do a lot, (got plenty of walking in ) while I swam every day. Towards the last two days, I finally got him to come down and play in the tidal beds with me; where all sorts of critters (including big green turtles) were waiting.
We went on a 10 mile bike ride Sunday; back in Seattle, and it was tough for him, but it was a perfect ride if you don't count the fact that we stopped suddenly because he hyperventilated coughing and had to get my son to rush ahead and get the truck to take us home. He still has lots of issues around coughing and nausea, which makes it hard for him to eat enough to gain much weight.
D went to PT for the first time yesterday, and they gave him one heck of a schedule. This is huge, because before that, the only exercise he's been doing is biking and walking, with no attention at all to his poor upper body. He's smiling more. I'm tanned and freckled. I swam in the ocean almost every day in Hawaii and only used sunscreen once.

Those are GREAT pics! So glad you had a restful and healing trip. I know RD is a tough cookie, and having to take things slow has to be tough for him. Please give him a big hug from me.
