Well...one week down, another 7-ish to go on the Cape!! I hope you are doing well and getting something wonderful out of your therapy there. I hope you are resting and healing as you need to! I think of you all day...in between doing my work of course!!! :hahaha: I look forward to talking to you in a few weeks...

I can't believe its been a year, this time LAST YEAR, we were out on the Cape for your dad's memorial service. I love that picture of us on the sailboat...it is my avatar on this site. That weekend was very special to me as it was the first time you said "I need you..." and you did, as you found out about Jeff and John and needed me to lean on, especially through your dad's memorial service. It was special because you were finally trusting and letting me in...into that sacred space you kept safe from the world to avoid getting hurt. One year...and how things have changed...scary... Last year we found out Annie was pregnant, your brother and John were ill, and your other brother had had a minor stroke and was recovering. John died in February and now YOU had a stroke...I think you've all had your fill, doncha think?

I had a great visit with my new therapist today...she was wonderful. Different from Diane but VERY grounded and I think we have connected well. I'll see her once a week for the next couple of weeks and eventually, depending on expenses, I'll wean down to once a month. It'll be 80% after a $300 deductible. I felt very good when all was said an done.

I got all my lectures ready for Monday...just have to work on Wednesday's lecture too. SHould be able to get that done this weekend so I can really focus on getting some research in gear next week. Our weekend plans are to hit Violin lessons tomorrow (Margaret's violin is BEAUTIFUL!) and then a party at my chairman's on Saturday evening. Sunday we are heading to the zoo with David!

I'm a bit tired...looking forward to sleeping in a bit tomorrow! I miss summer!!! :hahaha: Having the semester start so early is just tough to get used to and I know added to my stress in the last couple of weeks. I guess it'll be nice to have a week off at Thanksgiving though so that's the tradeoff.

Anyway...I'm going to cuddle down stairs, meditate, then read more from "The Wisdom of Yoga" which has been wonderful! Remember when I read some of that to you when you were in rehab? You seemed to enjoy it!

I love you...I am holding you in my arms and my dreams! Sleep well my love!
