Reminded of a line from an old Joni Mitchell song

In my complicated effort to post that little video of Julia, I was forced to go back to my old way of notifying readers of a new post and including a link to the blog in an e-mail message. That has resulted in 67 pageviews in the last couple of hours, far more than I have seen after any post in the last few weeks.

I do know that many people read the posts about my recent medical news, because so many of you have reached out with loving and encouraging words. While I do not consider myself nearly as needy as some far better-known individuals in the news over this past year, positive feedback is always a plus.

So, at the risk of sounding a bit vain, this uptick brought a smile. And that’s when I started to hear the refrain from that old Joni Mitchell song in my head:

Don’t it always seem to go,

You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone?

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot.

I hope you don’t mind if I go back to the old way of doing things. It never hurts to keep up those numbers!

Love,

Rebecca
