Thank you, Hunny. I hope your Christmas was nice. I traveled back to see friends and family in Virginia. It took about three days of back-and-forth deciding until the very last minute when one opinion won out over the others and I went. Saw a wonderful friend. Parts of the family visits were OK; other parts not so OK. Tuesday is a complete blur and don't remember much from that.

Ten hours of driving each way gave me a lot of time to "just notice" (as an old therapist used to tell me). Still haven't asked inside, but I'm getting closer to doing so.

Peace to you,
