That Felt Very Rewarding

Yesterday was our 2nd Annual CHHA - Hamilton/Rotary Club Golf Tourney. The weather was great, the turnout was good and we were able to raise some money for our CHHA Chapter.

I think the highlight of the day for me was golfing with my Mom. Yes, we golf together numerous times over the course of the year but, playing together and raising money for an organization that works to help both of us made it special for me.

Being involved with this organization has been increasingly more rewarding as I become more involved. They have been so welcoming and genuinely excited to have me there. I hope that I can continue to help them as best I can. I already see how I can make a difference with this group and I'm looking forward to seeing it reach it's potential.

Quit your whining

It's funny how sometimes all you want is for people to feel sorry for you because you feel sorry for yourself. Perhaps I've used this blog to whine a little too much. I really do use it to vent a lot and share what I'm going through but I really only share the negative side of things.

So, that being said, here is some good news! It appears that the audiologist and I have come to an agreement that will allow me to keep my hearing aids and still be eligible for my government assistance. Huge bonus! Thanks to everyone for giving me that little kick in the butt I needed to be proactive about it. I have a quick meeting with them tomorrow to iron out the details but I'm very optimistic.
