To Life

My friend, Kacey Morabito Grean, interviewed Dr. Barbara Kistenmacher, a licensed Clinical Psychologist and the Executive Director of the Hazelden Addiction Center in New York, yesterday morning about the heroin epidemic sweeping our nation. Using questions she culled from her Facebook network, the answers are just what we, as concerned community members, need to hear.

I urge you to take the 20 minutes to listen. There is so much excellent information; you will be greatly enlightened.

Yesterday I admitted just feeling awful. THANK YOU for the encouragement. My mother wrote to me, "Hang in there, Mags. We have Northern European genes and they play havoc with us in the winter."

Last night I saw THIS picture my sister Annemarie posted of the Fitzgerald side of the family taken in Ireland. My grandmother, Anna, is on the top row, third from the left. They don't look too skipper in Ireland, do they?

Mama, we've got it hitting at us from every direction!

Let's resume dancing. For I believe, we must always celebrate the joy and the life lived even while we are sad. I love this song and I love the message that we will hold each other up, no matter what.

Here's to life - the good, the bad, the ugly, the sad, the scary, the monumental, the surprises, the minutiae.

What if I'm far from home? Oh Brother, I will hear you call! 
What if I lose it all? Oh Sister, I will help you out! 
Oh! If the sky comes falling down! For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
