Love, Mom". I explained no one would be home to accept the delivery and why and asked that they leave them on the front porch.<br />We had a brief discussion about the possibility of someone stealing the bouquet before she gets home. Then we both stopped and said something like, "Let's not go there. Let's continue to believe in the true goodness of people. Everything is going to work just as planned.<br />After that telephone conversation, this story appeared before me. I was grateful for the reminder too.

Every new turn produced line after line of homes decked in wonderful lights and decorations...some shouting JOY, others whispering it.

Then we have our dear friends and family we prioritize our time and affection for...animals included. So much is out of our hands, yet time and again kind-strangers intervene to remind us we are not alone..our faith in human nature is restore. <br />Those tears appearing whenever there is a threat to our safety are a normal safety valve. To prevent them, I cannot totally give up and shut out the news, ignore facebook and what is trending, even stop reading the local news. I am speaking for myself when I ask "if I divorce myself from the more at peace, or if I limit myself, control better what I access and how often, will it make a difference?" There is so much we are absorbing; one must keep abreast of things. If I could choose any period to go back to any period, I would be confronted with the particular turbulence of those times. The 50's were nice, but not perfect. The best time to live, many say, is now. Hopefully those moments of feeling so hopeless occur less often in days and months to come- while I decipher how much of the world to let in at a given time. In the meantime, I stay tuned to uplifting blog (right here)..where I find like minded people and kindred spirits.

I had so much wanted to attend your book signing in Atlanta, but am away from home. However, we had friends visiting with us last week, and left last Friday. I talked with my Scotland loving friend last night, and she did attend your book signing. I begged her to tell me all about it, and she did! Highlighting how lovely everything was, and how much she enjoyed meeting you! She let it slip that there is Edward's book awaiting us when we get home. I am happy all over!

A woman in the waiting room was wailing; couldn't stop her crying. Her little English Bulldog stood still looking slightly emaciated. It seems the lady had kidney disease and now her two year old bulldog did too. The future looked bleak for her dog. The vet left her to absorb the news and little that could be done. It was heartbreaking. I decided to do what I could and gave the vet money to use at her discretion. Her small town practice in a poor area leaves little for the animals. She said some people literally haven't got the money for gas to bring their sick animals in. We all come together for whatever cause that moves us.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-73192279729289356432015-12-07T06:15:22.379-05:002015-12-07T06:15:22.379-05:00Your thoughts often echo mine, none more than in t...Your thoughts often echo mine, none more than in this heart warming post.
