Facing the Unexpected

I haven't blogged for a while. That is due in part to the busy-ness of the season, and due in part to a recent and unexpected diagnosis for a very dear family member. I'm now processing the implications of this, reading up on the disease, and helping with the "taxi service" duties. The latter--spending more time with a loved one--is a pleasure. Work has been allowed to take too much of my time; this is a reminder of how precious time is, and how time should be spent on those who are precious to us.
