Good morning!!

 Good morning!!!

Well, it has been a minute!

Just wow.  This past year has been ... just wow.

I had a bad fall May 2022.  Hit my head on the edge of the fireplace.  Stitches ... bruises on my face and shoulder.  Memory loss ... vision affected ... balance issues ... a concussion.  I have always been the queen of multitasking and that came to a firm halt because of my inability to concentrate for very long.  It's been a very hard time for me but I have overcome.  I am still healing.  My vision is still healing.  I can multitask again.  My words still come out wrong sometimes.  I know it as soon as I hear it come out of my mouth.  I usually correct myself but there are times I have to ask, "am I using the wrong word?" I have tried to stay positive about it.  But I just want to say it out loud ... just once ... so I will do it here.  It's been hard. 

I am here.  I survived.  I am smiling the biggest smile as I type this.  I am happy to be here.

We just had a Super Moon at the end of August.  I will share a few photos with you.  It feels so good to be getting back into moon photography.  It has been a passion for so many years.  I am thankful for music and for my cameras because they bring me so much joy.  I am thankful for my sweet husband who is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me.  I love him so much.

I want you all to know that even when things are hard ... you've got within you what it takes to get through.  Even if it is one baby step at a time.  Never give up.

I will talk to you soon.
