Those words are full of so much hope and comfort. I am wishing you just that – hope and comfort. Is it strange that it is encouraging to me that your heart is sensitive, intuitive, compassionate, wise, and loving enough to be able to appreciate and reflect on what is happening in your life right now? You aren’t denying it, running away from it, or numbing it. You’re wading through it with as much grace and strength as you possess, and you are still reaching out to touch the lives of others. This writing and these observations are truly beautiful.

Love your comment ‘word picture’. Thank you for helping me to remember to take a ‘breath’ now and again.

It takes a while to get it back, but it does come back. Be kind to yourself and understand that it’s a process you must go through before you start weaving beautiful webs again.

Yeah, while Texans claim ‘everything’s bigger in Texas’ I gotta say that all buggy-critters are bigger in the South, hands down!
Thank you for your prayers, Linda, always appreciated.

As for spiders, though they seem to provoke revulsion in most people, you’ve got to admire their ingenuity and creativity in catching their prey. Not just the web-weavers, but the other types, too.
