I am back from the shadows of darkness reaching for the stars of hope. My monitor died a slow death last month where I was unable to reach the outside world for a couple of weeks. With the support of my family I am back. Where would we be without a loving family?

came out to my studio hooked up a large screen flat monitor (my son left me). I love it! It is like having new glasses where I can see more clearly. He hooked up my Skype ( my grandson and family gave me) to be able to see and keep in touch with them who are so far away. Plus, my newly purchased EPSON -Perfection V330 Photo that scans documents to edit, slides, film strips, and negatives into photos. I am looking forward to developing my slides into photos to be used with my books and poems I have finished and others I am working on. Also, photo essays for magazines. I still have things to clear up on the computer and then I am off and running toward my goals. It is hard to kill the dreams of a dreamer when they have been blessed by God.

I recieved a beautiful arrangement from my daughter Margeret and family-filled with bright colors of Fall that brighten up the house. Today, is the start of another day to believe in myself and go forward.
