magical cure

Since my illness is at a low point again, I'll be cancelling my trip to Phoenix to see my family. Because my grandmother is 92, my heart is heavy with this decision. Even though I call her and my parents weekly, it's not the same as visiting. But I'm grateful for the telephone at least.

I'll be glad to give up my students in a couple more weeks. Even though I've loved teaching, I can't keep up with it anymore. I sleep a good many hours a day and can't seem to focus my eyes or attention on reading anymore.

I long for the ocean as a magical cure. If I could be near the ocean for the summer with its cooling breezes, salt air, entrancing vistas, and calming sounds, I might actually get well. Probably, this is just a fantasy. I would give most anything to be well again.

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
