Hi Lynn
I was thinking about your illness and how it could seems so much like our recent weather patterns.

Grey skies with spots of great sunshine
Winter storms that force dormancy and solitude
Peaceful and quiet snow falling all around that creates a hush
The intermittent need for avalanche control
Floods that render us helpless yet bound by community
Predictibility that seems partially random

What I see on the horizon is the growth of new life that spring shall bring for you and of course the earth.

I hope all is well and I check in on you from afar.
Hugs
Beth and Family
