My writings can be translated, though not excellently, but still....I think you are a very couragious woman and a bit grazy too, I love that.About your stones: your idear about these stones reminders are similar to what my mother-in-love ( mother in law ), now aged 96 always showed to her grandchildren. Though she does not recognise them anymore nor remember their names, when sitting down and having a nice cup of coffee together, she will stand up, take some stones and starts telling us all about each stone, where it was found, be it Nijmegen, be it Denmark, be it France, be it the garden she played in as a child: she knows all the the stories and shares them.<BR/>Can you believe us women of all ages all over the world and our little, but grand preciousness ?!<BR/>I do...I believe in us..<BR/>Love you, Brin and keep on going girl.<BR/>Aridaone<BR/>GodelivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-44491885649413812542009-04-04T03:38:00.000-05:002009-04-04T03:38:00.000-05:00You said it sister ... we are such a consumer, "th...You said it sister ... we are such a consumer, "things" society. I have found in my life having to watch every penny has made me realize how much of what we "have", or of we "want" - we don't need. Peace, contentment, walks outside in nature, flowers and library books go a very long way in making me feel very contented. Oh ... and also sweet kisses from a scraggly black dog named Winnie Dixon. How is that adorable chocolate dog of yours these days - are you able to take her to work with you ? Hope she's not lonely with all your Messy Thrilling business.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-77552835612837315102009-04-03T22:16:00.000-05:002009-04-03T22:16:00.000-05:00I am ecstatic to hear that you are in better spiri...I am ecstatic to hear that you are in better spirits. It all works out according to His plan. Even when He throws a couple of stones in the mix to make us stronger. You totally got His purpose for you and will overcome any rocks in your path.
