With my husband’s sudden trip to the ER this week, we’ve had a stressful couple of days. Both Brian and I have really needed days where we didn’t have to get out – where we could try to breathe, relax, and rest.
“When you rest, you catch your breath and it holds you up, like water wings…” — Anne Lamott
I’ve used the time to myself to work on my new puzzle, paint a little, talk to friends, and do mindless chores around my place. I’m beginning to unwind enough that I may be able to rest better tonight.

Harvey is not doing well. He’s hanging on, but barely. We are treasuring every moment that we can actually communicate with him now. It is becoming more and more rare. We will go see him in the morning.
I hope that YOU are getting the rest you need – whatever life is throwing at you. We are all in this world together. Virtual hugs to you. 🤗
