Hi, Betty. I so enjoy your posts. You offer your readers a new way of experiencing life, and since I try to do the same thing, I encourage you to keep on writing. I miss seeing all my writer friends in AZ. Hope all is well with you!

You understand emotions so very well. Trust in a greater good can help us breathe easier and

feel less worry and more peace. We need those good feelings during this terrible time of covid illness and world tension. Thank you.

A wonderful reflection. I am often aware that when fear is ‘hardwired’ from previous trauma, mindset is not always easy to change, thus impacting a person’s capacity for choice. But possible? Oh yes. This I believe.

My dear Ardis, Your past year was certainly traumatic. But, as you say, we have the capacity to choose, and you chose hope and faith. I am glad things are turning out so well.
