You are correct, this is an amazing period of my life. I am grateful. But I never intend to portray a life with no strife, even though I'm always trying to shine a light on the positive. Life is a little tough and a lot wonderful, and for some it's a little wonderful and a lot tough. I feel blessed with my troubles. I look forward to sharing more. And if I find my way toward the skies tomorrow, life has already fulfilled my dreams. 💟

I do know about the Northern fires. Not all of them but a brother of a facebook friend from high school scouts them and reports... as close as the fire fighters let him get. I've looked on maps and noticed to the right of Sacertomato (what some Berkeley - ites called it in the Fall of 1978) have raged many fires. I read something of that quickly in your pages. I haven't read enough, but I know fire and I know fear of fire. May protection blanket Cool with divine mist to keep it not only cool but calm.
