     My body does not like to hear the word cancer.  No, No, find another word I say to myself.  But why do I let this word terrorize me. This word contains the whole scary world.  It is an abnormal growth in the body. For me it is a sign of an old body getting ready to leave this life. And yet, I am fully alive today.

     The house cleaners come and vacuum, change bed sheets and clean the bathroom and kitchen. I stay out of their way. In the end my house is livable and friendly.

     Yesterday’s coverage of the trump trials is great. The angry scowling defendant, the earnest witnesses and the intense lawyers. I am grateful for the dedicated reporters who keep up hour by hour with the story.

     I am reading LIFE IS HARD BY Kieran Setiya. I struggle understanding philosophical discussions. I like straight forward stories with some humor and twists. I read a chapter at a time. It is interesting when I can slow down.
