I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been so kind and supportive over the past two years. We're almost 2/3rds of the way to our Winter 2020 Fundraising Goal and I'm so very grateful for your uplifting assistance and generosity.
One of the silver linings of being basically housebound, is that I've learned to be more appreciative of the little things I took for granted for way too many years. This is especially important as focusing on one's health problems 24/7 can raise already high stress levels -- which of course is not good for anyone's health.
So whenever I'm able to get out, I bring my cell phone with me, and try to find the beauty in the world around me -- whether it's reflecting off the roof of a car in a grocery store parking lot, stopping on the way home to catch a sudden rainbow before it vanishes, or acknowledging that last rose of the season by the side of a road on the way to a doctor's appointment -- it's out there, all around us, even though it may be hard to see at times.
My wish for you for the coming year is that you're able to find time to stop and embrace the grace and magnificence that is all around us.
