I worked through a ton of grief -- and anger -- over my dad's passing from COVID. I managed to stay employed and even got a promotion and raise. I was rear-ended by a semi November 26th and lived to tell about it. I finished my fifth women's fiction novel and wrote my first tween novel for 9-12 year olds.

Robin Strachan

I have learned to be content with what I have. It's a daily choice.

Patricia

Our extended family of 11 was able to take a long camping vacation to Tennessee and Kentucky this past summer. We were able to visit the Creation Museum, The Ark of the Covenent and the Smokey Mt. National Park. While we were at Pigeon Forge our grandchildren competed in a National Dance Competition and placed Platium. Our oldest grandchild will turn 18 this year and our camping trips with him will be limited as he moves forward in his life so it was so good to have everyone all together! It was a wonderful trip and many happy memories were made.

Mary Cooper

First of all, thanks for your wonderful website!!!

My half and I had a mild case of covid; had all sorts of everyday illnesses. Had the whole family together for Thanksgiving and a Bat Mitzvah! Survived basil cell,a really painful shoulder, psoriasis infection, allergic reaction to hypo-allergic cleansing lotion-eyes blew up (looked like a lost a fight w/ "Rocky!" But, as Shirley MacLaine said in Postcards from the Edge..I'm still here. (so lucky to still be around)!
