It's good to go back and see what I said in the past. Life changes. Life stays the same. I haven't yet traded in old anxieties for new ones, but I am feeling better about work -- I think. Relationships stay complex. People I hold close to my heart disappoint me, but I suppose I disappoint others all the time. People I hold dear and want to make time for, are marginalized, and I can't seem to stop that. My energy levels are sapped beyond what I wish. I wish I had more -- lots more energy. I have a grandson that I couldn't imagine the last time I posted. I have the joy of learning about the world again through his eyes. Jeny and I live close. I have lived through an attack of pancreatitus (10/3/06). I have unwillingly flirted with my mortality and lived.

Things are good, and things are not as good, but being alive is wonderful.
