Oh, Karen, I appreciate this lovely comment more than I can say. I guess I'm not alone! And, not to cop a plea, but the pandemic and resulting quarantine have taken its toll on us all. There comes a certain point in every day now when I just want to "open the bar."

I, too, love reading and writing for hours. And being able to work out without feeling like I'm going to hurl. And, playing with our kitties. And noticing that my skin looks brighter than the day before.

This morning, I'm feeling pretty good, albeit a little bit "off." Hard to explain. Shortly, I'll be off to get my mammogram and then, may stay out for a while as to avoid the tumult going on around here.

Thanks so much for reading, and more importantly, for understanding. And yes, one day at a time. Stay well, dear.
