I wanted my first post to be optimistic. This was how my year started....dancing alone on the sea shore with The Celestials. It's gone downhill since... Clinging to the feelings of hope and elation seeing the Lights brings. #AuroraBorealis #Hopeful #Grateful

Being in need of help or support is not a luxurious option for lots of chronically ill and/ or disabled people : it's rather an inevtable necessity for them to survive , especially those who are house-bound ot bedridden ones .
