I was Messengering away with OysterCard yesterday, and I said, "You need to have Good Friday to get Easter." That's true.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the prayers, Mimi. What I'll post about next is finding out how wrong I was. I've FELT alone -- I have new friends, family of choice, a great many of new people in my life in the last year. And they love me, and DO show up -- when I ask. The last thing my aunt said to me was, "She promised -- you will never be alone."Kate Morningstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854090450164982040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389742689883833624.post-91502567516596884182008-04-30T22:03:00.000-04:002008-04-30T22:03:00.000-04:00Kate, you've been dealing with a a great deal of i...Kate, you've been dealing with a a great deal of illness and loss in a short period of time. I'm amazed and admiring that you're as functional as you are. I went through a period like that, and I was devastated.<BR/><BR/>How lovely of your niece and son to give you the gift of a clean kitchen.<BR/><BR/>If it's any comfort to you, my perception of reality mostly doesn't line up with the rest of the world's either. I will pray for you, my dear Kate.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389742689883833624.post-4884333270639088732008-04-30T14:25:00.000-04:002008-04-30T14:25:00.000-04:00Oh my dear Kate - you have had so much going on, r...Oh my dear Kate - you have had so much going on, really so very much.<BR/><BR/>And yet here you are.<BR/><BR/>I am reminded of how the most lovely flower sometimes springs up unexpectedly between the cracks in the cement.<BR/><BR/>You remind me of that flower - determined to live, even if it feels impossible at times.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you my friend and great light.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389742689883833624.post-68932893396093292472008-04-30T13:54:00.000-04:002008-04-30T13:54:00.000-04:00Roland -- standing in place and looking busy!! Th...Roland -- standing in place and looking busy!! That's brilliant -- it's EXACTLY what I've been trying to do. And you're right, it's a shadow. I hadn't thought about it that way before, but I'm going to. The next installment will be about the overflowing cup -- there aren't any enemies (except in my head -- they're the worst kind) to set a banquet table in front of. Interesting to think about the fact that they'd show up, too.<BR/><BR/>O.C. -- you've been constant and loving for the last few years, even with an ocean in between us -- I've been able to tell it all to you, and I wouldn't have got to here without you.Kate Morningstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854090450164982040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389742689883833624.post-77259752715691663982008-04-30T13:00:00.000-04:002008-04-30T13:00:00.000-04:00My dear Kate - you have been one of the people tha...My dear Kate - you have been one of the people that I look up to - I see so much growth and recovery in you.

I bet you knew that. :)<BR/>Two, you have to walk through. If you stand in place and look busy, it doesn't count. It seems as though you stopped a while.<BR/>That isn't always bad.<BR/>I'm glad you are going through.<BR/>May your cup ever be overflowing.<BR/>On secondary note, have you heard of a song by Sanctus Real called 'We need each other'?<BR/><BR/>Chorus:<BR/>Oh, oh, we need each other – so what’s the fighting for?<BR/>Oh, oh, we need each other – please don’t close the door<BR/>Oh, oh, we need each other – through all the high’s and low’s<BR/>Oh, oh, we need each other – ‘cause no one’s meant to be alone<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://air1.com/broadcast/playnow.aspx?href=%2fstream.asp%3fhref%3d%2fAudio%2fhooks%2f2647.rm&onespeed=true&media=listen&bt=3&" REL="nofollow">Here's 15 second clip</A>Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669050528894458315noreply@blogger.com
