One of the surprising delights of the walk is the stories I have been told by friends and family members of their senior relatives who have learned new skills so that they could keep up to date with Simple Steps Walk!
My son and daughter-in-law, Josh and Becky DeGraaf have told me of Becky's grandmother who, determined to keep up with the walk had her son install and teach her to use a computer. Hello Selma, I am looking forward to giving you a big hug when I reach Saskatoon!
Then there was the family who's senior loved one couldn't be contacted by phone and becoming concerned they sent someone over to the house to see if there was any problem. "No problem!" she explained, "I was just reading Denise's blog!" Sorry to the Hay family and a big hug and kiss to Ruby for your support and prayers.
To all the other seniors, thank you for your interest and support. I couldn't do this without the prayers of so many. Every step is a gift from God.
So if you are a senior who reads this blog could you please comment and let me know who you are. Or if you are a family member of a senior leave a comment to tell me of your relative who has made it a point to read this blog. Lets make a list of seniors who read this blog.
NOTE: you have to sign up for your own blog to leave a comment. That doesn't mean that you have to blog (although my Mom has enjoyed the experience) you just have to "register" with blogspot to leave a comment. Its an easy process and worth the effort.
