In the middle of the night, I see moonlight coming through my bedroom skylight. The neighborhood is quiet.  All is well.

A friend invites me to visit at his home. I am afraid and want to cancel but he has difficulty hearing, and doesn’t talk on the phone or text, and only looks at his email every couple of days.  He is my good friend.  I drive carefully to his house in Pacific Grove and we talk and laugh together. This is my first visit  outside my home in the last several years. 

The volunteer arrives mid-morning with a weekend supply of meals.  I am almost ready to start grocery shopping and cooking.  Not quite yet. I still need to be stronger.

An ant crawls quickly across the keyboard as I am typing. Yes I live with ants who mostly stay hidden. I suspect we all do.  I hope I am not the only one.
