Getting connected

Living in Concord in a lovely house in Thoreau's woods with the hounds and horses in the midst of winter.  The isolation mirrors the isolation engendered by living with Isabel.  While her nature is true and rare - the reality of living with her uncertain moods and fears makes normal socialization difficult.

So we live with horses in the woods - which is beautiful and intense.  But I long for the ease of having friends call to make a spontaneous dinner date - with kids and movies.  

None of this is possible.  Winter is hard.

Hello, my friend.
I have been thinking about you and a recent googling brought me to your thoughtful and touching blog.
Would love to hear from you.
