Ah, Lou' ... you are welcome with dear warmth!
It is good to have you back.
Many experiences hurt us .. and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. If we can we have to pick ourselves up and start walking again. Like it says in that wonderful quote across this page, near the top, 'Strength comes from the good things. Your family, your friends, the things that make you happy.'
That's what we hold on to, Darlin'. It's what leads us back into the light .. and from there we can always find our way home.
Always.

"Choice" had nothing to do with it Marcel.
Some things are naturally favored by the heart.
So it is with your enchanting Triangle.

These are fine words to be greeted by on an early Saturday morning.
