I’m sitting at my desk listening to Duckie sing and play Mike Nesmith’s “Propinquity” on the guitar. (I love that song.)  He’s in Missouri.  I’m in San Juan Cosala, Mexico on the shores of Lake Chapala.  The wind is down tonight, both dogs are curled up in their private places and I’ve just finished what I hope are the last changes to the pdf file the printer will print the final run from.  I may be finished with this book.  Tony, we are this close!!!!! Duckie and I have known each other for 2 3/4 years or some part thereof.  We met online and clicked and we spend about 3 months a year in each other’s company.  We talk almost every day. He sings and plays the guitar for me and gives good advice on periods, commas, vocabulary and life in general. And, he has the best music in my world!!!  Duckie is one of the nice things that have  come about from my following my own advice in this book––before it was ever finished. I hope you’ll share your own successes. This is not going to be a gloomy site!  Yes, we talk about everything–the saddest of things, sometimes–but the purpose is to raise us out of the lows of life, no matter how slowly, and to teach each other how to keep growing our lives.  We are never finished!!!  Judy
