Gina, your way of greeting the day with scenes of beauty and transcendent performances by human beings is a wonderful alternative to the disturbing developments that seem to pile higher each day in our world.

Thank you, Lin. I believe we must defend ourselves against the constant barrage of bad news. I have my garden and in the non-flowering season, I look for hopeful signs of humans overcoming the odds. :-)

Those were the days of gorgeous skating; brought me back. We all need distractions in this nightmarish time. Yours is a lovely one.

Thank you for bringing Torvill and Dean back to life for me. I can see them, hear the music as if it were now. I was mesmerized; brought to tears.

Yes, I love Torvill and Dean, too, but I still count on watching Jimmy and Stephen punch back at the pumpkinish idiot to help me feel as though we’re not just quietly giving up and giving in.

Here’s to the glass still half full, the rink still waiting for the next graceful manoeuvres, the blank page still beckoning…
