You are a blessing and joy in my life and I am much better for knowing you. And this entry is freakin' hilarious!
Geanette on I’m fine.You amaze me. That’s all there is too it. The fact that you are willing and able to even LOOK for a silver lining is breathtaking.

We need inspiration like you. And now ... bonus ... I can say I’ve “read” Rilke! Big love, G
Pam on There are RULES, dangnabbit!Wow! Who is the noble cobbler? Mine took six weeks to repair the strap on my bag that I carry every day. I am aware that your cobbler didn't say that they would be ready in two days, he just agreed that she could pick them up.

Melanie Danke on Wakey, wakey.Gosh, you are sweet. Thank you for that.
Geanette on Wakey, wakey.Didn't think I could POSSIBLY love you any more, but after reading this one. I do. I do indeed. You make me laugh when there's nothing to laugh about. You make me see the world with new eyes. No small feat. God, I love you!

Marathon wrap up.
