Burdens set aside for a moment, we walk in beauty. Thanks for coming back for however long.

I'd love to see your shrine once it's finished.

And I hope your son finds his footing in the big world of school. Sending him a prayer of strength and love ...

[Kathleen]

So nice to see you back.
Hope your son settles into his school and your family finds comfort after the loss of your cat.
Saying goodbye is never easy.

Heather, So glad you are back, have missed you too, and your lovely posts and photos that you send out to us! Totally understanding of what you have been through, but so true about needing peace and beauty around us. So sorry to hear about your son and your dear cat. I remember driving my poor cat that was hit by a car from PEI to N.S. to be buried at the old family home. The cat was our first cat we ever had and I couldn't bear to leave her behind on the Island when I moved.(No, I am not a crazy cat lady!)
Sending good wishes for your son and your family. Will have to read up on Aspergers.
LOVE polka dot anything!!
Happy Thanksgiving!

[Kathi]

YAY, so glad that you are back... I need some good inspiration... and as always, you provide !!! THANKS
