After the terrible tragedy in Japan, all the loss and ruin, my heart so heavy with sadness...I felt so grateful, as many of you have, for the ordinary every day life - warts and all. And as we in the little green cottage kept on in our blessed, ordinary every day, another tragic event hit much closer to home.I will be pausing for a moment, travelling next week to be with family. Rest assured that all of us in the little green cottage are fine. I am grateful that I have this shiny place to come back to, and that is because of you my friends. Thank you for every comment, every email, every kindness, and all the serious goodness you have shared with me!
This weekend, say I love you to those you love; notice the small things; sing out loud; make a mess; make a wish; forget the rules; be good to each other; stay up late; go to bed early; give yourself a nice hug; waltz around the kitchen...just L-I-V-E live!
and be well

Sweetheart, I am very sorry to hear that you are negotiating more tragedy. Travel safe and be very, most exceptionally, kind to yourself. Biggest hugs to you...xxx
We are feeling the same over here. The tragedy in Japan is so enormous its hard to comprehend. My Japanese friends and students are all in shock and feeling helpless. We must be grateful for what we have.
Your last paragraph is good advice. Look after yourself. Abby x
hugs to you & yours~
The events in Japan are beyond, I believe, anything our minds and hearts can take in. They will need so many things for so many years.
I am sorry that a tragedy has touched your family, you all are very special to us. Please stay safe in your travels and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, Pony Girl and The Engineer.
Always a great reminder! LIFE is so amazing!
Oh LOVE!! I am sad there has been sadness in your life.
if I may be so bold as to add to your last paragraph:
walk in the rain,
smell flowers,
stop along the way,
build sandcastles
go on feield trips
find out how thinsg work
tell stores
say the magic words
trust the universe
