[Magdalen] Some regrets

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Thinking of you tonight, with prayers for you and Marcy.
There are many different ways that 'taking care of ourselves' seems to be 
the opposite of what we 'should do', but it is often what we must do, to 
stay the course.  May your time away bring you strength for this journey.
peace
Lynn
