We're back again tonight, Thursday evening from 7:15 to 8:45.

I've been up and down with radiation, chemo and getting my vaccine shot. However, I'm on an upswing this morning and I plan to go ahead with Lifting spirits tonight with "The Sky" as my theme.

Sometimes in the city, the sky is elusive. On the one hand, an elegant tower can draw my eye upward, but multiple towers become a wall and I can feel very boxed in and have to escape to the lake or some other part of town where the sky is more accessible again. Though, even at their best, city skies can't hold a candle to the prairie skies.

I recall many canoe trips, waking to pee in the night and being blown away by the expanse of the Milky Way. The sky gives me a kind of perspective, my problems are not so big, the universe is amazing with or without me. Though my existence is required for me to appreciate it--ah circular thought. ;)

Over the course of this difficult year, there have been some amazing skies, made all the more wonderful by how much I have needed them.

Love you all and see you tonight!
