Ellen, didn’t realize you’ve been struggling in the last year…and it made my heart smile that you are starting your feel yourself again in these months….

Life’s a fascinating journey with its twists and turns; I agree that it will sometimes take us months to even notice we are in a “funk” or that we’ve changed—

I suppose having always been a positive person, your essay forces me to grapple with what is healthy positivity vs toxic positivity….ill need to reflect deeper upon it.

Thank you for your transparency and vulnerability…sending you the biggest hug.
I always enjoy your pieces.
Keep well dear Ellen.
