I feel that while all my writer friends are celebrating triumphs, I continue to fail. ” –Thanks for being so honest, Jeannine. Our society, and ourselves, so value the spunky, athletic, do-all, person; and I know you have many, many, friends, especially here in the Northwest, who are hiking and sailing and running and skiing, in between writing all while being quarantined. It seems so unfair to be your age and be afflicted by such an unpredictable disease. My best to you.

Dear Deborah, Thank you! It’s not too hard too get outside – the doors from my bedroom lead right out to the back deck, which is where I watch the stars. And I’ve always been a night owl, even when I’m sick.

I lay on my back on Block Island, in my forties, and watched them for hours. I am asleep early these days. Much love, dear Jeannine!
