I feel like I’m also pretty rumpled and knocked about, too. Currently in Ecuador, but my efforts to volunteer have not gone well.

I thought I was doing OK, but a smallish disappointment has made me awfully sad. I guess I should have realised that anything to do with my birthday is always ultra-sensitive. I wonder why.

Crazy busy here between some HUGE yard projects (tree cutting, planting new lawn areas, vegetable gardens) and publishing a new book - my first poetry book ever. But good! Life is good! Nice to see you!
