Hibernation view

Each winter for years I have wanted to hibernate like a bear, stay endlessly in flannel sheets and not go out unless necessary.  Never thought I would ever have the opportunity but the combination of cancer, chemo and cold is making it possible this year.  I am fortunate to have a beautiful view from my bedroom and bed into the woods, watching the colors and scenery change along with the wildlife.  Yesterday in the snow was a healthy red fox bounding and playing, perhaps chasing dinner.  The day before it was a large majestic red-tailed hawk with its fresh-killed meal, probably a squirrel, sitting on the ground, then flying off carrying its bloody feast.

Wishing I could fly away too, from cancer and chemo to a fresh start.
