I have had house guests for a week. As much as I LOVE seeing family, it gets a bit much, however, while they are here, I usually feel BETTER. It seems the distraction of all the activity makes me forget my pain. Then they all leave, and I am left here alone, and hmmm, then I feel worse. Altho, today, I don't feel as badly as usual. Maybe because I have other distractions.

This morning I awoke to find 12 sandhill cranes in my back yard! Right there, 50 feet from my patio door! Simple pleasures.
