That is totally awesome, Amy. I have more respect for you for observing what is good and what isn’t and becoming a stronger person because of it. You know, I’ve always stood by, watching how you handle the toughest things that are thrown your way- I wouldn’t be able to handle things the way you can. But, I can say you ARE my example that I can always look up to! Way to go, Amy! I am thankful for you!

Fancy to see both Mayes and Baer think alike, and I, too, shall say “Ditto.” In my prose, “The Temple of the Muses” (Manus, 1977, p. 8, I quoted Shakespeare’s line: “Alas, I say unto you this globe is yours, and it is your duty to learn of life from life, and should you fail to heed these words, you throw away a pearl richer than all your tribe.”

Keep up your courage and keep your chin up.

heart-touch! You are like the deaf Dear Abby (or was it Ann Landers?) who always had a Thanksgiving message about being thankful. Your thoughts today remind me of a favorite poem, “Desiderata,” especially this part:

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

Thank YOU for the thoughtful truths you’ve bravely shared, as well as the open-minded listening. hugs,
Patty
