It has been over five months since my last post. A lot has happened. A lot. So I figured it was time to start writing again and let it all hang out. Some stuff is pleasant stuff and some not so pleasant and some merely neutral.

I am still with my guy of six months ago and it was been a very good six months together. We mesh. We laugh. We talk. We cry. We are in love. That's the truly pleasant stuff. I feel so lucky we found each other.

Secondly, I have finally moved to one of my small apartments and am making it my home. It is good to be away from the old life and old reminders. I have a lot to do to make it home. I rented my Wabi Sabi Gallery to another artist and I am so glad she is there. I like her.

I have a new grandson. His name is Zachary and he is in a neonatal intensive care unit having been born three months too soon. He has struggled to live. We love him and pray that he will grow up strong and happy. It has been heart breaking to watch him struggle and heartbreaking to know how hard this is for my daughter and her husband. I pray to whatever God will listen.

And the last of the news is that I am struggling with cancer and undergoing chemo therapy. This is very unpleasant. My divorce was difficult for me and I thought that was the worst thing that would ever happen to me. I was wrong. But I think the divorce helped me toward being stronger, braver, and more realistic.

I now want to undertake a spiritual journey rather than a road trip. I hope my adversities will lead me to a place where I will find peace and acceptance of life, wherever it may take us.. This is my challenge and my inspiration. Both for Zack and for me.

Wish me well.
