It's an interesting side note that while I was writing a small piece on hope and fear - you, Jessica, were writing this (see link below). I bob up and down between despair and actions. Hope without actions leads back to complacency and despair.

My writing drive was slowed due to a brief battle with vertigo, now fading to dizziness. so full speed ahead.
