I have spent the last hour rereading all my 2024 posts. Which tells me a few things. It really was a great year with so many amazing nuggets and blessings; and I didn't post enough. Once upon a time I wrote nearly every day. Life wasn't quite as busy in those days, and I appreciate …
The in between…
These moments of "in between" are a little like being caught in the rolling fog of the early morning. At first, you see a light mist in front of you and before you know it, you can't see anything at all. It can be unnerving. Waiting on a diagnosis is a little like that. Six …
