Start where you are.
Use what have.
Do what you can.
—Arthur Ashe
It has been a long, drawn out, tumultuous sort of year for us, full of surprises—welcome and not so much—where most energy has been sunk into getting through the days with as little drama as possible.
Slowly, though, the tide is shifting, and the art of surviving is taking less of my focus and the daydreaming and wishful thinking displacing the strain is making me hopeful that time for creating won’t be too far behind.
It's Two AM 
Wow! I’ve been worried about you! It sounds like you’ve been through alot but are making your way through. I’ve been there, and am dealing with new challenges along the way. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers…
Oh how wonderful to hear from you again. Hope you don’t leave us for so long a period. Your writing is wonderful.
I can hear your deep breath. 🙂
