I have been given a new life, Now ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! |
|
After 4 years of illness, and 10 months after my heart transplant...my dream to ski again becomes reality! Feb.16th, I left Fort Lauderdale for beautiful Steamboat Springs , Colorado! |

A day to acclimate, then off to the ski shop to get outfitted Ted, the ski shop dog, fitting my boot liners! |

When skiing, the skis on the left, GOOD...the ones on the right, BAD SIGN...you will do what is known as a "face plant" A face plant is not only embarassing, you land on your face, get covered in snow,it goes up your sleeves,down your back, fogs yours glassses, your skis fall off, and it's hard work getting up again! You do not want to do this.... :) lucky for me the snow as nice and soft! |
|
I took the time to take it all in...I NEVER thought I'd be standing here again HEALTHY! I thank God, Emily(my donor and angel), my husband,and all my friends and family who helped me along my "journey" I'd never have made it without you! :) a special THANKS to my "team" in Gainesville, and to my Dr. B.... :) my lifesaving hero (who knew just when to send me to Dr. A...my other hero...I love you ALL! and owe my life to you ) |

This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears all nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres. This is my Father's world: I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; his hand the wonders wrought. |









|
I can hardly believe I am here! Visiting one of my best friends, Maureen. She lives here...lucky girl! These are her kids, Shaine, Sheena, and Zebby |








|
A perfect sunset,plenty of snow, and we are READY for the next day up on the mountain. |
