10 Days in February... Limitations & 10 Days in March... Possibilities: A Memoir

by Eleanor Deckert

Book Overview

As a child in the 1960s, my biggest and happiest influences were:
- living in the mountains of Colorado
- experiencing Brownies and Girl Scouts
- Laura Ingalls Wilder's 'Little House' books
- Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan
- observing myself and others
- caring for my baby sister
- creative expression in dance class
- going to Sunday School

In 1978, as newlyweds, my husband, Kevin, and I set out for the wilds of Canada intending to live the 'Back-to-the- Land' homesteading lifestyle in the tiny log cabin we built before winter set in.

The cold, darkness and silence were crushing. The isolation and poverty intensified Limitations.

Could I somehow overcome the Limitations and seek Possibilities?

Volunteering opened ever-expanding community, creativity, and Possibilities.
