I'm hanging in there, thank you. The beautiful spring weather here has certainly lifted my spirits the past couple of weeks, and that definitely helps. Friends have been helping me with planting some flowers around the deck, and yesterday I planted some lettuce. My brother has been busy working in the yard, and I think it's going to look lovely this year! Thomas Cat is also enjoying the milder weather and has been out in the sheltered portion just outside the kitchen - he's only ventured out onto the deck a couple of times and only for a few minutes each time ... but it's a start. And I've managed to walk to the beach using my cane several times already! It feels to good to finally get outdoors and enjoy! :)
