Watch Out For Bears
My family and I love the outdoors, especially camping. It allows us a chance to get up close to nature and experience its beauty. Our favorite spot is Mammoth Lakes, California. It has a short flat hike I can accomplish with my MS. The majestic mountains capped in snow and the smell of pine trees everywhere make for a great experience.

A Bear!
Not to worry, the bear was smarter and more afraid than us, so ......up the tree he goes.
Nothing that our neighborhood Bear Whisperer couldn't take care of.
Fortunately for the bear, and us, he came down and left with only a whisper, and we were able to enjoy our campfire that night, much to the excitement of Julia and Jacob, my young (brave) children.

Hi Jim,
It is so good to see that you are seeing life from the other side. How difficult it must be for you dealing with life changes so drastically; You went from being a doctor, healer and bike rider which was taken away from you to becoming a patient and walking with assistance. Going from having lots of energy and getting used to living with constant fatigue. It must be very hard to deal with MS and all the drastic changes in your life. I am proud of you and love you.

Hi Jim,
Filmarie shared your blog with me, and I think it is delightful and so well done. You are an inspiration to us all !!
I loved seeing the picture of your in-laws too. I miss them so much ! At the same time I am happy to know that you are there overlooking Neil's process with his health challenges and being such a great comfort for Filmarie.
Blessings from Gro
