+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Kisses mean naught from an unsmiling heart,
And hugs without sentiment cannot love impart.
Every word uttered thoughtlessly, carries no weight,
For all insincere actions lack the power to sate.

yep...and sometimes the actors are so good that the receivers are hard pressed at discovering this before the pain is felt

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,

Very profound statement in this short verse.  Touches the subconscious gently with substance.  Enjoyed the journey.

Hello dear sister .... Words of wisdom from you this early Sunday morning! Very impressive!

We continue to be in transition and it is becoming very wearing on us. We spend weekdays in NH in a borrowed home and weekends in our house in MA. Our new home will be ready for us to move in on 6/23! I cannot wait as we're feeling like gypsies.

I miss you and think of you often and hope your health continues to improve.

Hugs and luvs, Marti

If you truly love Nature, you will find
beauty everywhere.

~ & a "Hello" to you dear sister friend! It must be so difficult ~ but exciting! ~ to have your feet in two different camps, so to speak! But June 23 is not that far away! I am absolutely thrilled for you! You have gone thru' so much in the past couple of years and now you are starting a wonderful new chapter in your life!

I am very happy in my new home and my recovery from open-heart surgery is coming along very well! I'm enjoying my new life!

Our lives certainly have been in transition as of late! Talk to you soon!
