My dear friends,
Iâm going to take a brief break from blogging so that I can work on the final edits of the book Iâm writing on my familyâs experience with Alzheimerâs that I have been telling you about and will be available next year. Thank you for all of the support and encouragement you have provided on this project. You kept me going when things got hard.
I also want to thank you again for the kindness, sympathy, compassion and understanding you have so generously given since the death of my wife, Julee, in June. I donât know what I would have done without you.
Donât worry about Gracie while Iâm finishing the book and taking a blog break. Sheâll still get her daily hikes in the country and walks in the city. In fact, if you are a user of the Abide prayer and meditation app (and I hope you are), Iâve written several stories about our walks in the woods that will be featured as sleep stories soon on the app. It offers a wonderful way to drift off with a faith-based story that will relax your soul and mind, sweep away the cares of the day and prepare you for the next one to come. Hopefully with Gracie and me as your gentle guides.
The next youâre likely to hear from me is from Germany. Iâm hosting a Guideposts trip to the famous passion play in Oberammergau at the end of August. Weâll be making a few stops along the way in Switzerland. Iâll be updating you on our trip. Until then, blessings.
