Dearest Friends and Family,

I know it’s been a while since our last communication. Gosh, Spring/Life seems to be flying by, and I’ve not been keeping up well. But I want all my local friends to know . . .

I’M NOT RETIRED . . . I’M STILL DOING TREATMENTS All DAY on FRIDAYS! 

You see, I love you, my Clients and Friends, and I’m not ready to say goodbye.

In late February, I went skiing with a group of friends at Monarch Ski Resort. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the snow was a bit icy. I caught an edge, went flying and landed badly.

I understand that the word got out about the shoulder I broke while skiing, and everyone assumed I couldn’t do my work . . . BUT I CAN! With the help of my Doctor, my Physical Therapist, and several other therapists, the shoulder is healing very nicely. Thank you all for your concern.

If you’d like to schedule a session, I’d love to see you! Don’t let money stand in the way — I still happily accept donations.

 Now, with the Doctor’s permission, I’ve been able to bike ride with the Manitou Spokes group twice in the last two weeks and it’s been fine. Whoohoo!

A couple of other friends who have been injured showed up for the bike ride, but couldn’t ride this time.

So ON we go . . .

Spring is exploding here in Green Mountain Falls. We are experiencing some interesting weather with bright sunshine one day and the next, it’s cloudy, then the next, sunshine, and the next, clouds. Yes, we need more rain/snow, but it’s so BELLISIMO (Spanish for very beautiful). The wild Pasque Flowers are blooming and the daffodils are coming up in some gardens in Colorado Springs!

The wind is a bit crazy, but it comes and goes. There seems to be a lot of fear about climate change, but I watch our trees and wild plants doing okay. It’s always “one day at a time” isn’t it?

Our president and the government right now are attracting a lot of attention, anger, and fear with the changes they/he are making. Despite the multiple messages and requests they send me, I’ve found it best to step back and stay out of the fighting. Yes, I’m going to vote, for sure, but I don’t need to convince others to vote the same way I do. At eighty-three years old I don’t feel the need to fight any more. Thank God I live in a still-free country.

  And life goes ON . . .

Everyone wants to know how my dear husband, Robert, is doing. Well, at ninety-one years his body is definitely changing. We’re all going to have the experience of AGING. Let’s prepare for it. Robert’s condition is teaching me a lot.

Robert and I don’t want to leave our beautiful and community in the mountains to go to a Senior Living Center. So, we have a dedicated Caregiver who comes three mornings a week . . . and is willing to come more when we need it. She helps him in many ways at the house and takes him wherever he needs to go, including doctor appointments. She encourages and cheers him with PT exercises and gets him up and walking as much as possible. We’re so grateful to her.

Then I do what I can on the days she’s not here. It’s my SEVA (Hindi for service with love). And its my honor.

On we go . . . one day at a time!

Now, let’s play the “Smile At Each Other Game” every day and SMILE at everyone we pass and see what happens.

Wishing you warmth, health, and peace as we move through this new year.
