Many got lost over the years, because so often I jotted them on scraps of paper which eventually disappeared. It's a wee bit warmer - bright and sunny today - so we are keeping well and warm.

I've found everything from movie lines, like "Happy thoughts, darling." from An Affair to Remember to a prayer written by one of my favorite writers, YOU! "Dear Lord, give us strength and grace to carry our mantle of compassion and goodness and kindness every single day. Let us walk in the beauty of your grace and remind us one day at a time, sweet Jesus, that this matters". Thank you for touching my heart and for always inspiring me.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892268005478365663noreply@blogger.com
