It's been a rough couple of weeks for me. The loss of my dentist of 38 years at the young age of 62. The sudden and unexpected illness and departure of my local Rotary President. Surprising and sad developments for one of my nieces and her family. I've been feeling overwhelmed with loss and sadness. My plate is full and the peas are falling off!!! I'm 54 and no doubt experiencing the symptoms of menopause! Ahh, such is life.
