Dear, dear John:
For the past several days I have been unable and unwilling to turn on my
computer and respond to the hundreds of missives in my mailbox.
However, I have read your missive and those of many others. Some I
delete immediately because I can not bear to hear diatribes.
Last night after a dinner of animal crackers I mowed the lawn and
enjoyed the smells of freshly cut grass and felt grateful for simple
pleasures. After mowing I sat outside with my little dog Hootie, and my
rambunctious golden retriever pup, Lily and looked up into the black
night.
Stars above shone brilliantly and I knew these stars had seen everything
from the beginning of earth's time, to the beginning of our time, and
they will continue this knowing to another's beginning. I am glad we
have stars because they do show us the way.
Love and Peace.........Sharon
