I Need More Hellos.

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. ~Charles M. Schulz

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes. ~Henry David Thoreau
You all have been a balm to my heart this week.
You make this world feel spacious and full of Hellos.


** You know, I had a feeling you were going to ask, and forgot to put a note in here about the photo. It was taken from our bridge down in the woods. Looking upstream toward where our Beaver family are building their habitat. Bear Creek is a year-round stream, and home to trout, water skippers, crawdads, wood ducks, and plenty of other yet-to-be-seen creatures.

Beth, I am very sorry to hear about your FIL. I am thinking about you and your family. I lost my FIL 18 months ago and my heart is heavy but know he is in a better place at peace.
