   Life lessons never cease. Hope the next one is an affirmation, not a consequence.

     Indeed!
     On the same day I broke my ankle, a friend’s husband had a heart attack while ploughing snow (with a machine, I believe). The storm had power out for a couple of days for some of my friends. It’s been a rough year for more than a few of us! Here’s hoping it gets better asap!

   I’m so sorry to hear you broke your ankle. Well at least you have the sentinel doggies. Please get well soon.

     Thanks, Deb. They are very good at standing in front of me ready to trip me so I’ll spend more time at home.

       Pain is poetry, just as much, if not more than joy is. It couldnt hurt, anyway…
