THE STRENGTH WITHIN



BELLAONLINE Disabilities Newsletter

We are in beautiful Colorado for a family visit. The weather changes so often here that it’s like getting all the seasons in one week; it has been warm and it has snowed. I’ve seen two foxes and a variety of wildlife that we just never get to see in our neighborhood. Overall, it’s been a great and relaxing week.

This week there are four new articles on the Disabilities site. The first is about travel, one is about the Polio epidemic and I wrote two on dental care. I had so much information on tooth brushing that it turned into two articles.
