Thanks for that. Many people seem to think that working is stressful, but, often, for me, working can be life-giving. I will also have to redefine myslef/invent a new me as I navigate the possibility of qualifying for disability.

I'm glad that you've found an outlet in returning to your art. For me, I will need to find ways to continue to get out of the house. I will need to look for volunteer opportunities to keep me in touch with people. Shelving books in a library, or stuffing envelopes for some organization aren't going to cut it.
