Utterly

Utterly helpless sometimes I feel and utterly sad for no remedy found to fix my conditions which seem so surreal. I’m utterly stymied and tied to the ground. Utterly thankful, however, am I, for what gives me joy and for friendships that thrive. Though utterly hopeless . . . I’m still getting by and utterly happy for being alive! Nov. 14, 2021

You do a nice job here of capturing the ups and downs of life, pivoting on the word "utterly". I always appreciate your undying sense of gratitude, in spite of all the countless travails you endure. I utterly admire that.

that means a lot to me because usually I am not this heartfelt and it just came to me magically. Thanks so much, Judy.
