I was thinking of the virus and all the people who have died from it. And the sadness and suffering of those families. This image was done after looking up at the sky one day in July 2020, and seeing clouds moving fast. I was imagining all those I've lost from my family (not from virus but years or decades ago) - and even though they are gone, how their strength and presence is still with me.

The simple incidental things bring me happiness these days. Sunny days and starry nights, my dogs wagging their tails and staying close to me and the walk to the garden to harvest Swiss chard and green onions for simple dinners make me happy. A telephone conversation or text with a friend also adds to my happiness. Hearing the mule and donkeys greet me as I approach, the dogs howling at night, and being at home with my husband bring me happiness. Knowing we are well, safe, and together with all we need makes me happy and grateful during these uncertain times.
