     A friend and I talk about uncertainty in our lives.  We want to know what is going to happen, we want life to be stable and predictable.  But life happens. How to thrive within this unpredictable living. Cancer patients like me become anxious about upcoming scans and procedures.  So many parts of my body are not visible to me.

     I have been watching COLLISION. Originally a masterpiece theater show and now on Acorn. Very intense and very good. An Anthony Horowitz series based in England. “A devastating car crash has far-reaching consequences. In the aftermath of the collision, all those involved - including those investigating the incident - find their lives intertwining and secrets being revealed.” Definitely fits my mood of my unpredictable life.

     Cold nights and mornings, and then the sun warms us up. I realize in two weeks the earth shifts and the days will start getting longer. Maybe the movements of the earth and sun and stars are the most stable part of my life.

     I am just finishing reading THE WIDOWS OF MALABAR HILL, by Sujata Massey.  A compelling story of a woman lawyer in Bombay in the 1920’s. On my list of favorite international mystery stories.
