I'm still here. I have been reluctant to write for a number of reasons:
First, I haven't felt creative.
Second, we suffered the loss of a family member. Not to death, mind you. A rejection based on complex family dynamics. Anyway, it took the wind out of my sails for a long time. It is what it is. Onward and upward, right?
Oh, and Third, I've been obsessed with raising the rating on my ancestry.com tree, the one with over 60,000 people in it. If you remember, in April 2025 I discovered it had a 7.9 rating because of lack of documentation. It is now up to 9.4. If I can bring it up to 9.6, it will be rated a "top tree." I'm so sick of "documenting" and researching dead people. I dream about them. When I had pneumonia last fall, I was often in a half-sleep, watching names and facts scroll by one after another in my mind. When I'm finally done with this project, I will feel reborn.
Cheers!
