I have been out of touch since being striken with cancer in 2014.  The doctors saved my life, but at a heavy price.  I cannot walk without assistance and spend most of my time in a wheelchair.  Still, I am grateful for a husband who is the soul of patience and has never complained while acting as my care giver all these years.  For that alone, I am truly thankful.  Lately I have been thinking of the premise for a new novel.  My only hesitation is whether I could do it justice.  So I am still thinking.  Anyway, best wishes for a truly happy holiday to everyone out there.
