Looking back at my last post, written in a deliriously happy moment before I was off to meet my two Guys in New York, sigh.....well it reveals how LIFE can change in a mere instant.....a *Snap of the Fingers* and all you have known is changed.
I spent three weeks in hospital....was uninsured... and now, still slowly (but surely) healing....am left with unbelievably GIGANTIC medical bills - and no way to ever pay them back.
Most of you know I am alone in San Francisco.... close friends live thousands of miles away....as do Chris and Bofie. It will be a long, rough road to a recovery... but I am grateful for those friends who can comprehend what I am going through....and send me emotional support. It means a lot.

Meanwhile, I have begun work at my non-Opera job...receptionist at a Tax Company.... only 20 hours a week (nights and weekends) and just over minimum wage....but it's all I can get here in San Francisco these days.....so I take it...
it money for food and basics... and it's definitely better than nothing.
I am regaining strength in my legs with all the walking I must do...this is inspiring to me....as I am really an *Outdoor Girl* and need to be in Nature's realm as often as possible.
Here are a few photos I was able to take last week......they help to heal my body, my soul and my heart. I hope you enjoy them. For those of you who sent cards to me in Hospital and later to my home.... thank you for your prayers and healing thoughts.... and even some lovely artwork... I will post some of them soon.

Spring has arrived early in San Francisco. This has been a real blessing to me....it enables me to get out in the Sunshine..and help me to heal.

Last night, I was able to photograph the March Full Moon.... so beautiful and such a joy to behold... another step towards getting my life back!
 |
| La Bella Luna....I have missed you! |
I leave you with words that have always encouraged me to push on when things get tough.... they ring especially true now.
* Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Home is behind, the World ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of Night,
Until the Stars are all alight.*
Love, always,
♥ Robin ♥
