I would like to add to the list of friends that I miss..
I miss T Henry.
His poems were so beautiful.
I hope to hear from T Henry again. I include Debbie as a friend who I miss very much.
Debbie the artist, the poet, the beautiful gentle soul.
I am still sad that she no longer visits.
I still hold out hope that we will hear from Debbie again. I also hope to hear from Gargi again. I hope dear Gargi is well. I often think of her.Lovingly,
Mary

There is a joyful little place I have been frequenting on the internet lately. On Instagram a person posts at kitty_fostering_oz about the kittens she fosters until they are old enough to be adopted and she shows videos of them. Right now she has three kitties that are 11 days old. She bottle feeds them every two hours around the clock. They are Amazingly cute!!
She also has a pair that are 4 weeks old. Way, way, way too cute!!
She did lose several kitties recently to sickness and that was quite sad. But the little ones she has now seem quite healthy and are an absolute joy to watch. I don’t even post on Instagram. I just follow many people and museums that are interesting to me. I just wanted to post about this space that I have been enjoying so much. I think many of my gratefulness friends would absolutely fall in love with these tiny kitties too. Hopefully I’m allowed to post this. If not I guess you won’t be reading this post.
Love to all!

Dear Diane,
It is so good to hear from you. I was starting to miss you. I am so glad you were able to spend this time with your daughters. Do you text, do phone calls, or do FaceTime on the phone with them? I would think it would help a lot to be in touch with them on a regular basis
I am wondering what you are worried about. You will talk about these things whenever you are ready.
I am with you in any anxiety you might be having. I know anxiety very well.
Have you ever heard of EMDR? It is a a therapy done with a therapist that is very helpful in healing from past trauma or past events that bring up anxiety. It helped me to deal with the upset and anxiety I had when some children at my school made false accususations about me. The admin. doubted me and the school board and the dept of ed determined I was guilty, and dealt with me quite harshly. The whole thing still makes me angry, but thanks to time and EMDR, it no longer it no longer upsets me nor does it agitate me the way it once did.
I hope you will be able to rest and get in some relaxation.
You must have so many experiences and emotions to unpack from your trip.
I send you my love, Diane.

Dear Palm,
I just wish I could get in my car, drive to Michele’s house and talk to her in person. So often I have wished that I could meet with all of you in person, but I especially feel this way when some one of us is having a particularly hard time.
But on the other hand, without our way of communication I would not even know anyone in this gratefulness community. And I am so grateful to know and continue to know everyone here.
I send my love to you Palm on this day.
Mary
