19. Your post nearly brought tears to my eyes. I know those feelings, had them, then know them

again. This is what we get when we are most human. We are most caring and hurting. And really none of us are immune to those feelings, they just come upon you. You with your loving puppy!

My hubby and I are old. It's only a matter of time when we'll have to move into assisted living, if we should live that long (we are in our early 80s). I often read Wallace Stevens poem "How to Live. What to do." It gives me perspective.

Art is my thing. It never ceases to surprise me. I've just produced my 2nd book and I'm working on a third. Reading art history gives me perspective and gives me hope.

Thank you.
