Hi to SS, Suzzie, SunSun, Sundog and everyone who's dropped by this thread. I'm sorry for my absence from PC and appreciate the inquiries and concern that's been expressed by you dear people. I'm okay. It just got harder to get back to PC the longer I was away. Not sure why.

I hope that Sundog and SunSun drops by. I'd love to connect. I've been going to my local sangha every week, sometimes to an additional sangha in the next town. I was on an all day meditation retreat/hike with a group on Sunday. It was wonderful. I've been doing more walking meditation than sitting at home. But, I've been able to bring more moments of mindfulness into the day. I hope that everyone's well, and that I don't flake out again. I'll try to stay more connected to PC.
