Once I got up enough oomph to send an e-mail, doing the three days a week volunteer work at the Research on Women center has definitely brightened up my outlook. It may also turn into a paying part time job. And, I assured the archivist that if my teaching job reemerged in the fall I'd be able to do both.

A structured life, with an outward focus, is a big help and probably a necessity for meaningful life.

Cheers to you Leya on Mother's Day! Thank you Leya's children for telling her to go and paint when she needed to.
