A Life so Well Lived

Recently, a podcast I was listening to, took me down memory lane.  I found myself in my childhood home remembering my mom coming into our rooms to wake us up on school mornings.  I don't remember using an alarm clock until I was older, but she would let us know what time it was, and then it was up to us to get up and moving.  Part of our weekday routine was listening to a radio show called Joni and Friends.   I can't remember the exact time it aired, but I distinctly remember that if mom yelled up the stairs, "Joni is on!", and I wasn't already downstairs...it was time to move faster.  I should have been at the counter, eating breakfast at that point.  I'm sure many of you are familiar with Joni Erikson Tada...and if you're not, look her up and prepare to be inspired.  I remember listening to her stories and songs...being so captivated...hearing her never-ending positivity in spite of a life altering accident that left her paralyzed from the neck ...
