Gratitude

"...so I failed this part, but I truly do believe that any one

blog written with absolute honesty, no hidden agenda, and

with a genuine outstretched hand of friendship and sincerity

is a blog of substance."

Suzan, at The Old Grey Mare posted this, this morning as part of

her understanding of being "a blog of substance".

Like her, part of the reasoning (aside from Dear Sister's insistence)

of doing this, was my utter failure at

keeping a journal.

When we began this blog, a friend was very confused by the need for it.

It was difficult to explain.

I'm still not sure I can adequately describe the

pleasure, enjoyment, interest derived 
from talking to you all each day.

The things I learn, the beauty I share in,

the conversations that have become part of my day.

Thanks to everyone for sharing this part of my life.
