Life book

A blog is a blog is a blog. In cyberspace one is supposed to write anonymously. It is an open virtual world, where the rules of the real world supposedly do not apply; or do they? Is it possible to leave on the side of the keyboard your own principles and just blog freely? It is more likely that our principles and values go wherever we go, that this "world of norms and values" we so earneastly fight, is really the only version of reality we have learnt, internalized and built over a lifetime. Any resistance to it is futile and probably self-deception. A blog will not help us unlearn who we are and how we think, let alone how we behave.

Jan reminded me of how much what I write in this blog is my take. I have been providing feedback to the speech therapist and jan wrote on her notebook her own reply to my observations! That's right, she wrote her reply! The writing needs some work for clarity but she has begun to "challenge" other people'sobservations. Yes! Jan continues to come back.

We took a long walk on the park next to the hospital. We walked about 1 Km. Jan was tired after that, but happy and relaxed. Jan is coming back!

Thank you for your faithful support in prayers and letters and emails and your unconditional love for us. It is blooming in due time.
