I have been spending a lot of time at the hospital lately. Jason's sister Debbie can tell you in her own words here why all of our lives have been turned upside down for the past few months (and one of the reasons I haven't been around my blog or yours very much.) I am on month three of not being well myself but no matter how I am feeling, frequent visits with Debbie at the hospital are an absolute must. The last few trips, I took pictures of some of the animals whose faces have been greeting me and attempting to bring cheer during this extremely difficult time.

Oh wow, animals, animals a and more animals. Yes! I think we agree they help and heal. So much gentleness and love can only be the nest medicine. I know what you mean about not visiting sometimes, but wait, take a deep breath, one day you WILL be able to visit and you will get the warmest of welcomes ALL OVER!!

It has indeed been so nice to see Debbie smile when I visit. She complains that laughing hurts so Jason and I joke with her lightly. We just can't resist trying to lighten her spirits or maybe take her mind off of the pain for the briefest of moments.

Sending Debbie prayers and healing thoughts. It seems that hospitals always have a fish tank ... fish are mesmerizing to watch. Sending you Golden LOVE.

Thank you. Watching fish is very relaxing and this tank has helped with awkward silences or just plain bad moments in the waiting room.

I don't doubt the healing power of animals. I think it's mainly because they make us happy and relaxed. People heal better in such a state.

Sending Debbie prayers and well wishes. Fish tanks are amazing; they can be so soothing and calming. The healing powers of animals is wonderful; they provide so much comfort and it all seems to effortless to them.

So sorry so many are not feeling well over there. But I agree, animals sure do have healing qualities. I just love the last photo of the whole Cascadian crew out and about.

Could your dogs visit? Or do they not have a therapy program?

Debbie has been in the ICU and in an isolation room so no therapy dogs allowed :(

Especially at a times when things seem just so bad and blue, without my pets I would simply never smile or see the good in the world!

I was sorry to read about Debbie and also to learn that you have not been feeling well for so long. It is nice that the hospital has so many animal images and the fish tank to help people feel better. I hope that you and Debbie both are feeling better soon.
