So sorry to read of your various travails over the last years, but happy to read of the recent better and good stuff. It is quite a journey we are all on in various places, in various ways, in various circumstances.

Mostly, I am always so happy to read a "real, people"y post about life. We do politics to death here at DU, but that is only part of life. Yes, politics impacts all of our lives, but sometimes, it needs to be put away into a box and door slammed - just for awhile.

I think the last time we met was in Chicago for my Botanic Garden event - for not nearly long enough. One of the only good things COVID did for me was to take me "off the road" and keep me home to do my garden stuff via Zoom and Instagram. Gardening has kept me sane for so many years (arguable as that statement is!). Sue says hi! We picked the right time to move west to the NC mountains - just before COVID hit. Going through that ordeal here was much more doable, we think.

Be well, stay safe, keep doing good stuff
