Hi Dr. JoyFinder,
I have missed you! I hope to get by to see you very soon. These are all good pieces of advice. Essentially, it is the people in our lives and our interactions with them that make life rich. I would not trade anything for the moments I have with family and close friends.
You and Muriel are very dear to me, and I am so thankful for both of you.
I can’t wait for the winter break so I can catch up on your posts. I always enjoying viewing your art and reading your words. They inspire me and take me away to a simpler, calmer place. I’d like to escape right now into that sweet Christmas village of yours.
Talk to you soon.
Love,
Kathy
