Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

On the Mend

Today marks my first official day back in the “land of the living” after seven days of nausea and upper respiratory symptoms. I still don’t have my normal level of energy, so I will need to take it easy, but at least I am not feeling completely ill. I can only imagine how my friend who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer feels every week that she has treatment. She has nausea on a regular basis. I only had it for a week. Good health certainly is a blessing that I, too often, take for granted.
