@greymelody, choff, choff...this Birthday cake is really good! How thoughtful of you to invite us over! What a great excuse to stray from my "lazy keto" diet.

Frankly, these days I would use just about any excuse at all to stray from my Lazy Keto diet. I've been so good for so long, lost 65 pounds, gone down so many dress sizes. But I am stalled. Planning for two trips, finishing up home-schooling the teen, and Marie Kondo-ing my entire house leaves me exhausted all too frequently.

Not to mention my book club, recovering from Shingles, and all the other books I am currently reading. I move into my new office this week. I am blessed with incredible people who want to make a difference in our world. We are a team of "helpers." Remember Mr. Rogers? He always said that when you are in trouble, lost, and can't find your way home, to look for the "helpers."

We have various labels and titles. Different degrees, cerificates, licenses, and experience. We are a non-profit organization. I will be able to work as much or as little as I want or need to. We cooperate with other agencies and groups in the community to help provide a place where people can come and be seen. Be heard.

Very much like Mayo Clinic Connect. We hear you. We see you. Come to the table. We have a place set just for you. Give our best regards to your family.

See you later, gator. (Our teen groans when we talk like that to him. I imagine you grimacing as you read the last sentence!) Come on, you know we old folks like to be a source of embarrassment for the young ones. Ha!

Have a blessed day! Talk to you later!
