WHAT'S NEW IN MY WORLD TODAY
I was talking to Brian yesterday on the phone about life. We started sharing how much we enjoyed going to the beach every day just to see what new creation awaited, even though it was the same beach, there was always something new. It could be the light that day, the tide, the rocks that came in or shells, Seaweed bodies, or any number of treasures. It always holds new experiences.
We agreed that if you can wake up every morning with that same open heart and mind you go to the beach with, you will see and experience something new in your life even if you are in the same body, home and with the same people everyday.
For Brian being able to see himself as the beach always changing even if at first glance it seems to be the same place and body everyday, there is something new and available to embrace and experience.
These picture of the bridge Brian crosses traveling to his rehab at Helen Hayes show how the same is never the same. So embrace your life , there is always magic at hand, be open in your heart , mind and eyes and you will not be disappointed.
YOU NEVER KNOW
It snowed today can you believe it? You never know whats going to happen. I woke up this morning and it was snowing, so I rushed outside and took this photo. I hope you enjoy it. It is the simple things that make you happy.
I still need assistance in taking pictures but, I'm getting progressively better at handling the camera on my own. Things are getting better, I just have to be patient.
Love B. Nice
Brian training for MY POINT OF VIEW trip. WATER STEPPING
The purpose of this blog is to have you be part of this project. The preparation for this adventure in photography is a bit unusual because of my new condition in life. So everything is unknown to me. My physical body is a huge part of the preparation.
I have been doing therapy with the goal of my trip in mind. Today I walked up 3 steps with someones help. That is huge for me. Everyday I try and stand, I can last about 5 minutes. At least I can and I have my trusty wheelchair. It is always amazing to me that I could run close to a 4 minute mile, I can barely take a step now, but I can and I am.
Ill talk to you soon.
Love B. Nice

Today I have Brian's voice. He is dictating over the phone.
I cant' wait to leave in October. Today I m working on the route, I have to take low altitude because of my brain injury. I've also been doing water therapy so I can step up into my trailer. I am practicing stepping up. It sounds easy, but it is like an Olympic event for me, very difficult. I've been practicing holding the camera and releasing the shutter myself. I shoot everything on film so I have to wait for the lab. Does that date me or what? I do everything slow anyhow. I'll post a photo of my new images when they come back from the lab. The ones I took on my own. It is interesting. As I keep practicing it will get better and better. Talk to you all later.
