Sorry I missed your post, I'm a day late to wish you hubby a happy birthday. Ah well, the important thing is that you all had a wonderful time celebrating it.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts like this. This really resonates with how I feel about the paths we take in life. I believe that the obstacles are the path as well.
Thanks for your lovely response, Mary.
Your comment about silence brought back a memory of a visit I made to Leamington Spa library, when we lived there many years ago.
I couldn't agree more! Books are amongst the finest gifts in the world! Especially one with an inscription. Once I get myself a new job, I'm going to treat myself and buy your books.
