Welcome to my personal blog. I love family history, living by the sea, walking in the woods, nature photography, and collecting words and pictures. I am a cancer survivor and am learning to live with pelvic radiation disease. Southeastern Connecticut is my home.

~ John O’Donohue

When viewed through Pain
