I was like that for months but it is diminishing, but I still wake up nights thinking of something that I should have done but didn't. Your sleep routine is similar to mine also, some days it is a real struggle to get going and get interested in something and mine is mostly, if not all, from old age. I received Vol l, albeit in the paperback edition, last Saturday and was surprised to see my name in Acknowledgements. Thanks much, Ron, and all the best to you and yours.<br />.Oscar Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328166606910469945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-89983114498170877212014-06-03T07:06:43.221-07:002014-06-03T07:06:43.221-07:00I wonder if writing poetry might be your forte. Yo...I wonder if writing poetry might be your forte. Your prose is very poetic and you are surrounded by beauty out there. And a poem is more manageable, my poetry friends tell me, for limited time. You can finish one in a matter hr hours instead of weeks. Thinking about you every day. Meanwhile a friend with MS was just diagnosed with lung cancer. She never smoked and I'm wondering if her job as a dental hygienist might have contributed. She has a 13 year old son. My heart breaks every day now. pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-20001967308254471352014-06-03T06:46:20.235-07:002014-06-03T06:46:20.235-07:00Thanks for the encouragement, Richard.

Surely there will be interest from societies like the Smithsonian, the WWA, the Library of congress, other literary and historical societies and the wider public in general. What about invitations to lecture on the subject and do book signings? In North Carolina we had a Western Preservation society that would certainly have been interested to hear about your work.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631731846526639966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-70694405685257140052014-06-01T10:36:54.498-07:002014-06-01T10:36:54.498-07:00Ron, I've seen some good relaxation videos on ...Ron, I've seen some good relaxation videos on the internet, too, as well as some newer variations of yoga. Recently, I read a book on mindfulness called "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thích Nhất Hạnh, the noted Vietnamese Buddhist monk and teacher. I found his writing and teaching on the practice of mindfulness simple and effective, and suitable for the lay man. My best wishes to you for continued progress in health.Prashant C.
