Funny how that stuff happens, eh? We are truly blessed, all of us, and we can see it if we look for it. I'm humbled that I was an instrument for such.

This is a wondrous and thoroughly beautiful thing. It is, to my way of sensing it, the truest mark of Friends-in-tune.<br /><br />I am so grateful for your willingness to openness and courage to express.

I have accumulated many pages of written attempts to sift the elements of Truth out from the flood of feelings that the revisiting has triggered. <br /><br />Then, my Dearest <b><i>SulDog</i></b> Friend, I thought that I saw a way to best express the core nugget of what my Soul wants these memories to reveal. And, after putting it "out there," I wonder if I have, indeed, spoken with appropriate clarity. <br /><br />You, my Dear <b><i>Jim</i></b>, have beautifully validated my efforts. I thank you!<br /><br />I do, indeed, love Ya, don't Ya know!John-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301981965656607401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-45939417219180926822010-12-10T14:29:27.394-05:002010-12-10T14:29:27.394-05:00Coming from One who has been a Friendship-Companio...Coming from One who has been a Friendship-Companion, lo these many decades, this note of sweet encouragement touches my Soul greatly.

It was called "Frankie & Johnny At The Clair De Lune", and it concerns some trials and tribulations of two people sharing a very intimate first date. Very funny in spots, touching in others. Anyway, Johnny, the male protagonist, is extremely open and tells Frankie, in no uncertain terms, how much he cares for her and loves her, on the first date. Somehow, it reminded me of the way you remain completely open with people (and I mean that in a nice way.)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25195308.post-52057193071994041742010-12-09T15:55:25.102-05:002010-12-09T15:55:25.102-05:00John-Michael, this is magnificent.

Thank you for reminding all of us that we are "beings" and not "doings" who should slow down to enjoy and relish the moment(s) of our lives. Much of it is so frenetically paced and driven that we forget and overlook what is truly important.<br />With loving gratitude for this gift,<br />CaroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
