It has been so long since I've written a message here. I hope there are still some who will read my words and perhaps find some challenge, some peace and acceptance for themselves.

My life has been difficult for some months now. Marty has had a particularly nasty sore on her stump since the first week of Sept. and is only now beginning to heal. So she's been in a wheelchair. It has curtailed much that we like to do. I have had surgery on my shoulder that had a particularly bad tear in the rotater cuff and 5 weeks ago had back surgery which ended up fusing more than I thought would be necessary, so I'm still recovering from that. All this with still much to do helping Marty with the everyday things that can't be let go. But finally my body is deciding to heal - maybe because I'm tired of babying it. :)

It would be nice if this winter would truly be a time of rest and healing and a return to life as we once knew it. I don't particularly like the snow, but once it's here it challenges me out of my whimpyness. So I am rather eager to see what the season brings.

I miss Faeria and my role of Sage. I miss wandering the forest and sitting by the stream. I miss the gatherings. I know much healing is happening and that is exciting. Out of that could come great and wonderful things.

I wish all of you well. May you find more pieces of yourself to experience and incorporate into the you that we can all see.
