Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.
- Zig Ziglar

I'm lucky since I can borrow one, and return it, while using it inside, without a penalty. Thanks Davit.

From someone who has spent a lot of time off and on in a wheel chair I have two recommendations. Borrow one from the Red Cross so you can get the size right. This is very important. What people think is the right fit often isn't. Let your Mother get used to it around home before you try the Art Gallery. It is going to be embarrassing for a while. Treat it like it isn't there. Please don't say things like watch your hands or watch your feet. That only makes the situation more obvious.

I think it will make Her more willing to go out if She likes it. You can't fall down in a wheel chair. For me mobility is a big issue. Yesterday I would have been better off with my wheeled walker but it is a marker of my deterioration and I don't want that yet.

Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, "Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary."
- Anthony Robbins

What this meant for me today, was to acclimate to a friend's need to use a wheelchair, to my surprise, since her health had declined, in an art gallery. Seeing the accessibility of the gallery, I can perhaps coax my parent, to enjoy the sights. Also, I might be able to purchase a wheelchair earlier rather than later, since it's been on the "to do" list so long.

- Ellen Glasgow

I was considering why I'm despondant instead of responsive, so I'll have to attend to some self-care, more regularly.

If you can't get a compliment any other way, pay yourself one.
- Mark Twain

What strikes me is how self-critical I can be, so it's important to be good to myself - maybe I'll book a massage today before that 2nd last class on those awfully uncomfortable seats!
