‘Blissfu<\/em>l Thoughts’ <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

seems the best way<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 for me to thank<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

all those<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

who made my 90th birthday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

such a joyous and memorable event! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Thanks to the three Toronto conspirators – Penny, Lynnette and Nora – who planned and achieved the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

 Thanks to my family for abetting the conspirators – Kevin, Litsa, David, Janice, Christopher, Kathryn and Matthew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Thanks to Bob and my mother, who, through different periods of my life, believed in me and supported me in what I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And looking back and remembering others who are no longer with us, I  have to say a quiet thank-you to Jinny and Dick Storr, Jane Green, Els Koerselman, Maurice Izzard, Anna Greta Malstrom-Groth, Sue Odell, Paul Marshall, Ann and Miriam Running, Val Cruse, Andrew and Mark  Murphy, Clarence Meyers, Anne  Warrick, and so many many more!  And I must say ‘thanks’ to Charles K. Bliss who gave us his seminal language, and ensured we would have a memorable beginning to our experiences using his language with our special communicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Thanks to all those who spread the word about the party – Katherine, Audrey, Judy, Claudia, Rebecca and Margareta are the ones I learned about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all those who spoke such kind words at the zoom party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Thanks to all those who attended – too many to see all at one time, needing  four zoom screens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to those who sent chat messages during the party, or emailed and phoned the following week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone who had me in their thoughts on Jan.3 !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone for including me in your life !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was privileged<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 to travel the Bliss and AAC road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

amongst the pioneers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I continue to be privileged<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 to share the journeys <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

of those who have travelled <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and are travelling their unique paths,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

through five decades!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
