I have listened to Joni and Brandi singing from Newport festival at-least a hundred times now. Her biography is something!! Have always been a fan but I love listening to her even more today, AND…I love listening to YOU!!
Maija, thank you for your wonderful reflections. I am in Santa Cruz with friends (and Lily!) resting after a lovely walk by the beach. All of those are miracles, 1) in Santa Cruz, 2) with friends, 3) I walked by the beach! 2 1/2 years ago none of those were possible. I will need rest and recovery time at home and then I will be able to go out again! I do feel the wistfulness of aging and the recognition of what used to be possible that will not be again but your thoughts have brought me to the present of what I can do.
Thank you once again for your beautiful reflections on life as it is today. Even without dealing with a life threatening illness, there are times I feel wistful too by what I can no longer do or never did, but I also remember that I have had my day in the sun, and the memory of those clear blue days feeds my spirit and reminds me how fortunate I am.
Keep on writing, dear Maija and reminding of us how each day we have is precious. You are an inspiration! Love and hugs
