Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

Desmond Tutu

It seems these days all I really possess is hope.

Just finished my morning chores, brought in a 40 pound bag of wood pellets, brought in a wood pallet, collected carboard boxes, fed cats, watered cats, put the pellets in the wood stove, cut the pallet for firewood, made the fire, lit the fire.

I wanted to collect snow for melt but didn’t. I had done all that without stopping for a rest. Now I was exhausted and really, really needed a coffee.

I had just enough water left for a coffee.the kettle was on the boil. I was leaned way back in my chair feet up and relaxing for a minute.

I think thats all I have for now.
