“In a dark time, the eye begins to see” -Theodore Roethke Resist becoming inured to the parade of venality, ignominy, and wickedness that's coming our way. It’ll test our sanity but we must keep our eyes open, and crawl our way back into the light, inch by inch.

Throwing out this dog bone for the #DogLovers: If you or a loved one is ever in a hospital, it never hurts to ASK if they have therapy dogs. If yes, then make sure all of your nurses know you love dogs. When Oskar and I visit, we depend heavily on the staff’s insight on whose room we visit. 🐾
