Here it is, just in from my daughter, a report that says that writing helps people do better with there health problems. Well, I had better keep going with my effort then. Yup, blogging onward.

And speaking of writing, we got back an email from Emily who has been going to school in France. I had written her to make sure that she was alright. So here are her words:

Hey! I actually just got back to Michigan a couple weeks ago, I had changed my flight to come home earlier for the holidays and I’m glad that I did. It’s very sad and scary what’s going on in Paris, but I feel that fortunately most people are in no real danger and that the news is making the city seem more unsafe than it actually is.

But anyway, happy holidays and I hope that you’re doing well also!!

Love, Emily

Well, I have to iron a shirt and find a tie and get over to a friend of mine’s memorial service. He was 93 when he passed in December. He was a Naval Officer, captain of a minesweeper that operated in the Pacific in World War II. I am supposed to be one of the speakers.

Yea, it’s all happening: healing, escape from danger, death and remembering, moving onward. More tomorrow, love, Felipe.
