I have been away from blogging and just when I came up for air in our crazy, hectic life...I decided to come visit my blogging friends and am sorry to report so many have either stopped blogging (leaving a farewell message) or simply stopped leaving no explanation. I feel so sad. I will look up your facebook and stay connected that way...because, despite my lack of blogging, I would be very sad to lose touch!

I owe you heaps of gratitude and love for all the years you wrote cheerful, enlightening, funny and heartwarming posts, and then took the time to comment on my blog. Your friendship is a gift and I appreciate you so much, here and on fb. It seems like blogger has become a lost, primitive island, but I'm still hanging around there until I get that undeniable feeling that it's time. We know these things intuitively. Abundant blessings to you and your beautiful family.

A year ago, it was once a week. Then, every three weeks. Now, life is so busy, internet where I am is soooo slow, and "what else is there to say?" It's been over five weeks since my last post. I understand your situation, as it is about the same as mine. FB will do, as we keep in touch there, right?

Your kind and thoughtful words gave me the drive to continue writing (even when I went on one of my galactic voyages) and for that you will always have a special place in my heart.<br /><br />Whatever life holds for you, may it be of stuff that keeps you smiling; makes you look to the sun and lets you bask in its warmth while hearing the laughter of those adorable grandchildren as the play in your ever changing garden. <br /><br />I will miss you… <br /><br />JennyPearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-884235015796031442.post-2357068557865809652014-06-20T15:03:20.361+01:002014-06-20T15:03:20.361+01:00I understand, but I know your writing will be miss...

I will miss you, my dear friend.
