<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>First of all, thank you so much for your kind response <a href="https://www.dineanddish.net/2018/05/dear-friend-i-miss-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to my letter last week</a>. It&#8217;s so good to have the support and understanding of someone who understands and gets it. The response I received definitely made me feel so much less alone. This time / age / season of life is full of changes and I never really know which part of it is just me or which part of is it a normal part of getting older. Either way, it was so great to hear from you and to get your perspective&#8230;.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve had a serious problem with my ability to focus lately. Well, let&#8217;s face it, it hasn&#8217;t been just lately. I&#8217;d say for the past 5 years or so my focus has been off, but it has really been magnified recently.</p>
<p>I have had the hardest time focusing long enough to sit down and check / respond to emails, write blog posts, schedule social media for the blog, be organized with banking, invoicing, and other tasks.</p>
<p>In addition, this week I locked my keys in the car twice, left my purse in the lunchroom at the grade school, forgot to take my daughter to volleyball practice, and left the stove burner on for an hour while I took a meal to a neighbor with cancer. &#8230;</p>

I have a couple growing in my yard right now, but that particular vase of daffodils is a gift from my friend Jenny who got them at Trader Joe&#8217;s.
