And I never write here at 300 words on Saturday.

But the last time I wrote, I told you that I was ill and taking a break.

Several of you wrote to me to say, in essence, “It’s okay to rest.” And to tell me that you’d talk with God about my health.

I am doing much better. Both in physical breathing and in seeing the value of taking a breath. Someday, I think, I’ll write more about retiring from one thing and not other things, about remembering and forgetting.

But not now. I’m still learning.

I’ll see you tomorrow with an old prayer and then next week with new writing.

And I am very grateful for your encouragement and support.

Jon
