Not sure why! But know I appreciate it. Still muddling through. I keep to keep my focus on the good in each day. My balance is improving. Still don't walk far. Goal is to be able to ride my motorcycle some this summer, though that is not an option for my husband. Will need someone to watch him if I do get to the riding. Not an impossibility anymore though!Donnahttps://mainelywrite.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-11391940644643273682023-06-03T19:11:27.514-04:002023-06-03T19:11:27.514-04:00"when fishes dream" --- I love how your ..."when fishes dream" --- I love how your poem freed me from time; felt suspended, yes, as in quarantine... well done!Patricia Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291738294052016720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-48790443969399068052023-06-03T15:12:15.538-04:002023-06-03T15:12:15.538-04:00How can my own blog see me as anonymous.
