Hey everybody,
Happy way too early morning to be reasonable at all!
I hope y’all have had an enjoyable weekend. As usual, I’ve handicapped myself at the beginning of yet another week by being up into the wee hours of the morning.
That said, I was on a very important phone call, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way, so I’ll deal with the consequences, come what may. People are more important than sleep.
Folks, the last week and a half of my life has been a trip. I haven’t shared details out of respect for the other parties involved, but it’s been a trip. Tonight, I wait. I’m waiting to see what’s gonna happen with a big decision that wasn’t mine to make. I don’t know that the decision is going to be made tonight, but it might be, and so I wait. It’s a gutwrenching night, though I am personally at peace at the moment. My thoughts and prayers go out to the other people in this situation. I plead, again, that yours will as well.
I spent some time playing the piano today. I haven’t done that in a while. It was a balm to the soul.
#1. I’m grateful for pianos.
#2. I’m grateful for the counsel of wise friends.
#3. I’m grateful to have my poison ivy improving in the worst areas, even while it continues to advance in others.
#4. I’m grateful to have the privilege of staying home and still making money, having a tech out there working for me.
#5. I’m grateful to be at peace for the moment.
My friends, family, and those of you I don’t know. As always, thank you for your support. Thank you for your love and concern.
Lift the World.

Lift the World 
Hello, my brother,
Though I haven’t read your posts at a time I felt I could respond the last few days, my thoughts and prayers have been with you and all involved. I am so full of gratitude for the gift you have received of gaining answers, finding peace, and receiving some relief via the shot and steroids at the urgent care! May you and all connected with this processing experience receive clarity, guidance, inspiration, and peace. May you know what to hold onto and what to let go of. May you feel comfort. May the next steps of your path be clear and may you be unafraid. My thoughts and prayers will continue for all of you.
Love to all,
Heather
I echo Heather’s beautiful response. If the decision is not in your hands, peace is the only answer. What will be will be what you do next, whatever that is. There is huge comfort in this. I love you, Stephen.
Thx, Tish 😊
