YES, I am alive. I am doing much, much better, feeling more and more like I shall live. I simply need rest, good food and friends right now. But signs of restlessness are beginning to surface. I am riding the horses everyday, not a lot but short runs in the snow. I am also teaching a ballet class at the Creative Arts Center in Eureka, about 5 miles away. The teacher Marlane Cook was a student of mine and is now teaching. However she is out with a knee injury , she asked if I would like to teach. It has been years since I stepped into a dance studio but once in I felt I had never left, it all came back so easily. I must say it filled me with joy to work with the enthusiastic group of teenagers waiting at the ballet barre.  I hear New York ( which I think of everyday) is having a mild winter while we are having a real “Montana winter” this year. February is just around the corner. This windless, almost breathless, sunless winter will not last forever, patience, I must be patient.
