Time ... Precious Time ~*Marge Tindal*~ Time … take your time as I meander through the things I took for granted before the storm-in-brew~ The home with roof over weary, weary head the gift of love found in the share of bed~ The bless of GrandieGirl’s arms wrapped ‘round ~Poet~ tight as we prayed down the day making room for the night~ Children grown with homes of their own Safe and sound … as the storm wrapped ‘round~ Fair face of a flower graced under a tree that blossomed sheer beauty for all to see~ Birds in tweet at rise-of-sun the woods in full-feathered song as moon kissed the day done~ Laughter in peals ‘cross neighborhood fences the bright rainbow sheen as the rain rinses pixie dust off the meadow making way for a new tomorrow to replace this day~ Time … take your time for I’ve much yet to pray-say thanking Him for the blessings I received yesterday~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Ah, the beauty of gratitude and the depth of faith - these are carried in your words. Susan Now who is Ivan? Guess I've got to check out the news again. Silly ostrich keeps her head tucked in the ground and away from the news. If another comes, safe be your harbor dearest friend. Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Dear Marge, you are a beautiful soul! To be grateful despite such terrible events and to be able to appreciate even more what you have, is so touching. Beautiful words you have found in the core of your heart. Love and hugs, also to the girls (from little Simon who is staying with us for a few days with Mommy and Daddy). Margherita |
