Leisure

"Reading is not simply an intellectual pursuit but an emotional and spiritual one," Anna Quindlen.

Our love for reading is something Dwane and I have in common, and I am grateful that he can again read with ease with his new prism eyeglasses. Amazing what doctors can do to make life better. On our trip Dwane was able to help navigate by reading the maps we had along. He was usually able to tell about where we were and sometimes to help plan where we might stop for the night. It was a way he could feel he was co-author of our trip. Playing to the strengths one has left is a way to lend dignity to their experience.
