It's been a tough year,
but a good one.
I'm thankful to God,
Debra & Jim, my family,
and my dear friends, near and far!
Thanks to my doctors and all the wonderful people
who worked with me in the healthcare world,
who made a tough time easier,
also the many drivers, who offered empathetic conversation,
as well as smooth rides...
Oh, and this little girl,
who arrived in May, in the midst of it,
a wee kitten then, who appears now
as I'm photographing today's still life,
to say "And wuddabout me?!"
