Being just a hop, skip and a jump away from May is just unreal. Time doesn’t seem to keep a steady pace; it either speeds or crawls … or both. It crawls when you are waiting for something, speeds when you have a deadline. Most of my winter was spent waiting; waiting for appointments, waiting [...]
I probably don’t have many readers left after all this time. It’s been such a six months! Just a quick update on me … some days I feel better and some days I don’t. There is no change in the medicine yet but the doctor was going to try for a third time to get [...]
My writing these days has been to the diary of a support group I’ve found that has been set up for people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. It seems like that (that being the disease) has been on my mind a lot the last four months (I wonder why) and I haven’t felt it was appropriate [...]
I’ve been hearing some of the words of the following poem in my mind today. It’s been one of my favorite poems since I was just a little girl. The other thing that has been in my mind is a picture of Albrecht Durer’s Praying Hands. Mother gave me a small copy of this the [...]
Look into your heart is a phrase I’m sure we’ve all heard numerous times, but yesterday I actually looked inside my own beating heart.

These arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen before being pumped to the rest of your body.” If you go to that link it explains what I was diagnosed with yesterday.

Lynn went up north to a family reunion and I am semi alone at home. I’m not completely alone because I have children and grandchildren who pop in to check on me and a beautiful set of 16 year old girls in the extra bedroom who are spending the night. But I miss Lynn when [...]
I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth but I’ve been busy relocating! We are now back in Ivins and rambling around in our home that now appears MUCH bigger than it did before 5 months of living in our motor home. I’m bummed that I didn’t keep up with my journal and blog [...]
