Forgive me for this second post, but I would like to share here three photos taken yesterday, during a trip not far from Parma, so I thought about Diane! My husband and I went to this village and brought with us a disabled boy, my cousin’s son. There was a special gathering of small cars, we call them “Ape car”. “Ape” is an Italian word that means “bee”. These cars are suitable for narrow streets in historic centers and sometimes they are ...
Forgive me for this second post, but I would like to share here three photos taken yesterday, during a trip not far from Parma, so I thought about Diane! My husband and I went to this village and brought with us a disabled boy, my cousin’s son. There was a special gathering of small cars, we call them “Ape car”. “Ape” is an Italian word that means “bee”. These cars are suitable for narrow streets in historic centers and sometimes they are very strange but fun. The small village in the images is on the “via francigena” which is an ancient path for pilgrims, from Canterbury to Rome.
Here the touristic sign, Diane look at that, we were very near to “Parma”!! “Mastio” means “the main tower”.
Hello dear friends, I’m so happy to be here, I had some technical problems with my cell phone. You know, while I’m on lunch break, I use my cell phone and visit this site, reading, writing … For one or two months, I can not read everything, because * read more * does not work, and for two weeks I can not write because the system corrects me and puts the words in Italian … So I have to wait for my I pad, but I can only use it in the evening, and someti...
Hello dear friends, I’m so happy to be here, I had some technical problems with my cell phone.

There is a lot of grace in your images, thanks dear friends! I also want to thank Rose for her invitation to the local groups! Dear Rose, it’s a nice invitation, come here just for us! I consider it a privilege … but I’m not sure I’m ready for that … I’m not a leader, it would take a lot of courage, which I do not have at the moment …
Dearest souls, is not it great that we are here at the same time? Nancy, Grateful Sea, Diane, ….. I am excited and moved. take care of you dear friends, the weather is really bad in your areas!
Oh Sylvie…your sorrow made me cry. You are so gentle, my friend, and your sister is like you. I am here, right now, with my candle lit. I am praying for Gabi, her boyfriend, you and Awinchen, Ursula and her family and every other friend in this Lounge. May the sun shine upon you all. warmly, dear Sylvie.
I’m here with all our common friends, dear Ursula. try to smile and even laugh. I remember that in Germany I saw very beautiful spring plugs for the bathroom sinks, painted with a smile 😀 and this quote: “smile, you’re beautiful”. I did not buy it, and I’m sorry, it’s a good idea to start the day. Maybe in Austria you can find these spring plugs or try to paint it yourself, so when you are in front of your bathroom mirror you will always remember t...

Yes! Clivia!
I am reading your reflection, Chester, and I think of Mother Teresa and many people like her: deep meditations and prayers before actions. I love when you say that “doing” for personal gain leads to imbalance. Another thing I am thinking of is Saint Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian, the Hymn to Charity. Many blessings, Chester.
Oh dear Palm, what a wonderful flower! It seems a known flower but here the blossoms are very few. Glad to have you again I n our circle of prayer, and that your health is good. Many blessings dear Palm, me too, I am praying now!
BDear Grateful Sea, I am happy to know that you, your husband and your relatives are safe. I hope this hurricane is calming down. This world! think of this strange circumstance: while you are under this stormy weather, here it has not been raining for a long time. Fortunately it rained in the spring, so we do not have droughts, even if this global warming is a risk to the glaciers in the Alps
Of course Michele, consider it done! Trust in your own will to come out of this dark time. Step by step you will find a path.
😀
Thank you Trevor!
Wow Nancy! Fabulous! 👍🏼 Molto, molto brava!!!!
Ciao cara Grateful Sea! Hi dear Grateful Sea!
Such a wonderful and moving story, dear Diane! Thank you for telling us your feelings, thank you for being here. I am thinking of the Gospel, when Jesus says that people are not able to read the signs of the time. We need to stay awake, to be open, and a lot of signs are right in front of us. You have read these signs, Diane.
I’m so happy, dear Grateful Sea.There are things that seem like a mystery, as if a wind were going and coming to and from people who are connected by loving feelings. When my dear aunt had a cerebral hemorrhage, many people prayed for her, she did not know, since she was in a coma. But when she woke up, she said she felt something, like a small whisper of prayers for her, that helped her to heal. It was a hard recovery, but now she is 79 and still take care of her disabled nephew ...

Many blessings to you and your husband, for your kindness, your patience and your will to do a right deed. With love. Take care dear friend!
