If I remember correctly Alice, Hercules was known for his courage, ability to accomplish daunting tasks, and his great soul - seems you have a lot in common, dear friend.

Thank you for this lovely message, Alice - just what I needed on this pretty gloomy, grey-skied last day of 2023. We have to keep looking for the light - which always requires that we acknowledge the darkness. Tough to do, for sure - community helps. So does speaking out about our little triumphs wherever, however they show up.

I love all the different stories, writers, etc. I am beyond grateful for all the people and things I have in my life. My heart aches for those in war torn places, suffering from illness, poverty, discrimination and/or just plain bad luck. I try to cherish every moment and will continue to try to do so as we move from 123123 to 010124.

Alice - I am most of all grateful for the ‘light’ in my life afforded by family and friends. And by taking of that, I know I am not extremely fortunate. The year ahead will be strange beyond measure. I think family and friends will provide the solace to get us through. Love to you and Jon. H
