As the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches, I am so grateful for the care Marla is receiving for heart failure and her shining and beautiful spirit. Yesterday she went back in the hospital because of fluid build-up in the lungs making her breathing difficult. I hope she will be home soon! Of course, I don’t need a special holiday to ramp up my grateful feelings as this is a daily focus for me. We have been very blessed and I know the collective energy of so many…including family and friends near and far away have helped so much. I am always amazed with our Facebook circle and the thoughts and prayers sent our way. There is amazing energy in surprising places. Thank you!

I am thankful every day for Marla’s love which is a healing salve even in dark moments.

My Thanksgiving wish is for a healthier future, spending time with our family, taking walks holding hands, and exploring new places with curiosity and wonder. We know we must be patient…but we will get there!

My Thanksgiving best wishes goes out to all the healthcare (vaccinated) workers who work so tirelessly in these COVID times, the service workers, the teachers who have to adapt constantly, and all the healers who provide solace and kindness.
