DARED TO FEEL 7 January 2012 She exchanged her constricting cloak of cynicism for a volatile veil of vulnerability and gave sunshine permission to seep into her soul and allowed her grimace to relax into a smile and cardiac-laughter to bubble like a hot spring as she savoured, with ecstasy, her glass half-full of wonder and half-full of strength.

I think I am able to relate to this optimistic and well-written piece of writing, Owl. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank you, Margherita for your lovely words. Thank you, Jerry. I am glad you think you are. I hope I am too. It isn’t always easy. Thank you, Tracie. Again, I say, not always easy. Owl |

I'll have some of what you're having, Diana. Sounds very soothing. Ida |

I want to feel the bubbles rise, those myriad orbs of mirth that give voice to conscious joy and effervescent being! Such a precious essence here, Diana. Divine reflections.  |

Thank you, Bruce. Glad you thinks so. Thank you, Kat. Glad you did. Thank you, Ida. Giggles. Thank you, Karen. Oh, I hope you do. Thank you, Belle. Have to be very brief. Serious computer problems. It (Lilian, the laptop) may die soon. She is having surgery tomorrow. Owl Owl |

Thank you, Margherita. Lilian is back from surgery. So far, so good, but I will only be able to tell in a few days how successful the surgery was. She turned on first thing, but now she has a pain in her spacebar. I have to press it between 1 (normal) and 10 (hammering) times for it to work. I hope that this will come right with use. Thank you, Ford. Smiles. The wonder is always there. I struggle a bit with the strength sometimes, though. Thank you, Karilea. I am glad it rang true for you, when you read it. May, it always be so. I am honoured that you feel it is wise. Owl |
