Every day that we step out the door of our little cottage, we embark on a journey of discovery. With our pending visit to Dr. van Praagh tomorrow, we decided that today was as good as any day to "test the limits". So, after a morning sitting around the table visiting with Coos and Rianne de Vink (friends from Taiwan), I had a short rest and then we embarked on a tour through the forest. Our loop was approximately 3 km and I walked for about one kilometre which amazed both Susan and me, considering the state of my health even two weeks ago. It was wonderful to take in the smells, sounds, and beauty. I would have walked further, except that my legs felt extremely wobbly by the time I stopped. Small wonder considering that I have been in bed for the last 18 months! Equally amazing, was the fact that I experienced very little by way of increase in pain. It was also a wonderful privilege to be out sharing the day with Susan.
In the picture to the left, I am on the road outside our cottage gate, and below you can see the stretch of path behind me that I walked in the woods . Our walk also re-enforced how lucky we are that Tante Tobia was able to find a place for us here in Hoog Soeren. We don't think we are stretching it to say that this is truly one of the most idyllic spots in the Netherlands. It has, without a doubt, nourished our bodies, minds and souls. We look forward to the arrival of the girls on Monday. And by the way, Program 2 is working well!!

Rod walks a kilometre without paying for it!! What a feeling of accomplishment...or is a miracle?
