i am grateful for the way you give and receive in your life experiences/writings. i find myself eager to read what new thought, new experience you will share each new day, and, like another LJ entry indicates, your words have a way of staying with me through the day. some of what you write i print to keep and remember and i share your thoughts with others in my circle. the other day you commented on my mother's bravery as she enters assisted living and i told my mother about an attorney in texas and what you wrote and she seemed genuinely moved, encouraged. in a strange and mystical way, i am not quite sure i understand, my life is enriched by what you share. i thank you.
