So many places in the world. But I am nestled in a most amazing and beautiful mountain community. Most mornings and evening but especially when the red skies roll in. And when I am really blessed, after a rain a beautiful rainbow hovers over my home. It makes me feel a childlike awe…

I have an idea how to help home bound folks and seniors in my small community and I have not known where to start. This week I will start to investigate more seriously. I am a hospice volunteer and haven’t had a patient in over a year. I will offer my services again.
