Three years ago, not much difference. 

This morning Edite and I went to the UU church and spent an hour plus being in the moment with community.  I always feel accepted there, and I always appreciate the music.  Not sure whether I will do it often at this point but I am exploring a place to do that weekly.  I'm going back to a routine of breathing daily, but I'd like to do the routine community experience now that I'm not working.  The pool is such a place, but it also has a strong intention.  I'm there to move easily.   
I didn't do anything else today other than speak to friends.  I think I feel a lot more at ease, except I know part of the issue is I have disassociated.  I am trying to avoid a full swing into addictive eating which is another reason to not go anywhere.  
It was raining today and making the trip to see the ducks felt hard.  I was grateful to not have any have tos on my plate.  It also meant I didn't take any photos, either.  So you get 2 old ones.  I was looking for one of Arthur, I couldn't find it though.   It would have been his 97th b'day today.  I wore the chain he gave me for my graduation from Marlboro to church in his honor.   Warmth is what I feel when I think of Art.  Warmth.

March 20, 2026 Happy Happy Birthday, Clara Witty! Happy Spring.  Oh yes, we're ready for it. The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.
