Hello and how is everybody doing? We've been away from the site and the computer for this past month preparing for our community's summer art season and adjusting to life with our newly adopted cockatoo. It's a bit like adopting a 2 year old - rewarding and taxing. Our kids have been grown and out on their own for several years, so I'm afraid I'm a bit out of practice and a little lower on energy than I used to be. We're finally settling in to a pleasant routine for all family members (including the dog and 2 cats) and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things on the web.

I can see that I've missed a lot of great new people, thoughts, and art! It's great to see what everybody's been up to here!

I'd love your help in catching up on all that I've missed in the past month. Who's been doing what great things for people, our planet and all its inhabitants. I'd love to hear about your good deeds and help you to spread the word! Just drop us a line here or add it to our forum at: http://sorrystateofitall.ning.com/forum/topics/catching-up-on-good-...

I can't wait to hear from you!
Susie
