Marge and I went to the VA office picnic, watching Marjorie and her friends play Bocci Ball
the group in this field, some of Marge's closest friends.
Ah Dr. Barbra Sturgis of 24 years ago, convincing me to go further with counseling, and saying
that Marjorie would always find work her social outlet,


so we are not always as close as I would like, and perhaps age brings that on.
However, I'm so glad she found some pleasure in the game, the food, and the friends.

Took them for laundry, and magically a few more appeared in my desk; it's been a long trek to reveal the right! Working in difficult jobs to prove I could earn my way. Giving grades to undeserving students, an this past year taking from my family, but these days I think of relief, Grace, the combination of knowing right from wrong an doing right. River, keep me walking for no person steps in the same stream twice. When I am given, to say Grace as the flower graces the day, as green supplants rock walls. Oh God, be thanked for this vision.
