I did read them and I so admire you because being negative about all that's happening in the life of "smaller portion" and yourself would be so easy and so natural also. Your spirit, as well as your body, must be weary.<br /><br />In this posting, I just chuckled at the following sentence: "a beautiful dawn got me scurrying outside doing mad woman in dressing-gown with camera dances." I wish I were a cartoonist and could draw this. What description! Please take care of yourself. I know you take care of "smaller portion" but please be gracious to yourself also.
