Beautiful descriptions of the Beach, and very candid Discussion of your range of feelings. Dogs, like young children, are just Candidly in the moment. Thank you for reminding us to be in touch with ourselves, too.

I can see it all when you write! Not just because I know you and Harriet…but because of your writing. I am glad Lisa said that about Harriet and that you both got to rest! Can’t wait to read your next one! And YES!!! You NEED to publish all of your short stories into a book! Now give sweet Harriet a pet from auntie!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I LOVE HARRIET. And I love you and love your writing and the deep wisdom you just drop in all casual-like, like changing the question from "what do I feel angry about?" to "what do I feel helpless about?" Brilliant reframe, and one that I am totally putting in my pocket. You are awesome and amazing. That is all.

Dogs are best teachers. Never leave home without Harry!

As always, Christy, your writing is brilliant! Your self-deprecating humor mixed with profound insights make reading your articles so rewarding. Any chance you will publish an anthology of these?

Carol, whenever I write one of these I always wonder if people will like it. As I hit the “publish” button on this one I swear I said to myself, “Well, I always have Carol, Lisa Morris, and Irena in my corner.” So the three of you are who keep me writing. So I cannot thank you enough for your support.
