Hello and thank you dear readers, 

I'm feeling better than I expected to just 4 days after surgery. I'm so grateful for your expressions of care and encouragement. They all make a healing difference. I'm sending big hugs to you all.  (Hmm, actually gentle little hugs...sore area...I think I'll stick with kisses for awhile.) 

Beyond me and my circumstances...blessings and best wishes to all among you and to your circles of loved ones who are facing any kind of challenge now as well as to all celebrating something grand. Cheers to every seemingly ordinary time too! 

I like to remember that everyday we are all part of a great symphony. Sometimes we are playing the high notes, sometimes the low notes. We all get to play different parts at different times. And even though sometimes the instrument we are playing sounds harsh, aching, or haunting, the One Symphony we are creating is a beautiful one.

Let's greet every morning with gratitude and with openness to the adventure of living. 

Sending kisses, love, light, and smiles,
