Amazing people.....doing amazing things....hugs and smiles to all of you
that inspire and continue to amaze me.......you are such a strong group of
fantastic people making services......and shaping things to
come......come......as a challenged person who is in a hard position to
attend or ....so tired of trying with an unable body......from the heart in
me.....I deeply thank our creator for warm and kind unselfish hearts as
yours.......that continue to give and shape and help services and providers
as..PLBC...that flourish with vibrant care in trying to help people that
struggle in sometimes......darkness and isolation and so much more.....you
are a team of caring hearts and I as one voice speak to your hearts
with......DEEP....THANKYOUS.....from my heart......quickly...have had
another photo in this years HOPE IN SHADOWS calendar........but very very
unexpectantly ....was also voted....VENDOR OF THE YEAR.....and it has taken
all strength out of me with all I have to keep to engagements.........with
legs that are getting worse all the time......gracefully....I have outright
quit methadose and am struggling with very low energy.....so been a bit of
a struggle....scooter motor fried and anyone who knows me knows my 3 wheel
bike has been my only transport.....and thats hard for me.....so....it is
with exhausted heart.......my warmth whats left.....deeply thanks you for
your care ,warmth,and so much more in shaping the programs ........may many
inspirational......thoughts and blessings fill your life full to the
top.......val...
