Tomorrow is Not Promised

Tomorrow is Not Promised

What I create from attempts to process my feelings, I do not normally share with others. I also do not normally share deeply personal content on this blog, so this post is an exception. During the last two years or so I have lost four people who meant a great deal to me. Two of them died after suffering protracted, punishing illnesses, one died from COVID-19, and one to suicide.

Recently I created the video on this post to commemorate the life of my niece Renee who died two years ago this month (COVID), but it is really about all of the loss.

It is That Time of the Year Again

It is That Time of the Year Again

It is that time of year again: the holidays. I do my best to enjoy the time and the various activities involved in ending up the year. Most of what I do is not traditional, but that is fine with me. I do the things I enjoy and eat what I like and do not worry about the rest of it all including expectations and norms.
