Hello


It's not easy but I'm going to keep believing that human kindness and civility will balance things out. What a crazy scary world.

I have a challenge here in this beautiful place I've moved to. I think it's temporary but it's the reason I haven't been blogging: just haven't had the spirit. I'm working, writing, cooking, driving, grandparenting, puttering, planting, and half the time feeling sorry for myself.

But. I'm still a lucky duck and hope definitely floats.

With love

    You've had a tough year my friend, give yourself a break and try to simply enjoy your space - not easy I know. Especially as winter begins to close in.
    And what a world we live in - is it because we know more or has humankind always been this nutty? I think we haven't changed, but our ability to shock and horrify is higher than it ever way.
    Miss you and sending love.

      hi mim, yes, it's been a challenging year. i'm looking forward to winter because it will allow sanctuary status for me and that means time for writing and cooking. i'm lucky i can easily work from home so even snowstorms don't bother me in the same way.

      i'm too secretive about feeling sorry for myself. it's because JB is sick and we don't yet know why. lots of doctors and tests and prods and uncertainty. i believe she will be well in time but it's been tough for both of us. thank you always for your dear friendship. xoxo

    Very scary at times.

    Hope the gardening and so on helps.

      hi cs, not much gardening this time of year. a few dozen spring bulbs have been planted, and yesterday i pretty much finished preparing our little yard for winter. tools put away, planters emptied, shovels ready.

      hi suki, i feel a bit alone in large part because here we are in a new community and JB is too sick most of the time to leave the house. i'm experiencing life in a different way these days; probably more sedentary than is good for me!
      fingers crossed that medicine and faith straighten things out soon

    Why are you feeling sorry for yourself? No one ever tells me what is going on every where :-)

      my friend,
      JB is sick. it has been now months of uncertain symptoms that leave her incapacitated and uncomfortable, and scared. lots of medical tests and doctors but it's not yet clear what's causing what. it will be a different holiday season for us, that's for sure. still, there's plenty to be thankful for. i know that too.

      your comment gave me a chuckle, ms. wieneke :^)

      love
