A few days ago I met a friend I hadn't seen for a year. She asked how I was doing and, since I didn't want to tell my life story in the grocery store, I said I was "chugging along." My use of the word chugging amused her, but I am chugging along, making progress and building a new future. Our family Thanksgiving was special, yet I still thought of my daughter. It will always be so. Harriet Dear Mary Jane,
