"My eyes have been opened to a world I never knew existed. Such vibrant creativity, such caring community: it literally takes my breath away. After so much loneliness and isolation it is overwhelming to me that such a world even exists.
In time I hope to be able to fill my garden of life with lovely, loving friends instead of the weeds of loneliness. Until that time lace tablecloths will come out of storage, music and lovely scents will fill the air of this home. And I shall visit the Daisy Cottage when I feel despair raise its dark, obscuring head, for I know from experience, that it is ever lurking behind that next bout of pain and weakness. Your kind and generous response has strengthened my resolve, you have helped me more than you will ever know, my new-found friend." ~ Lenna
Oh!!! How wonderful. Look at that heart shaped leaf...

Oh how true...reminds me of the final scene of the movie Forrest Gump where they are sitting... and the leaf falls ever so slowly down to the ground...well YOUR leaf says it all as well.
Thank you Kim.

I believe that heart was sent to you, and all those who sent a "Heart to Jack", from Tabatha. God's way of letting her say "Thank-you".

Aw, cute. No words needed. I passed right by the bench and had to run back and take a second look. Picking beach glass on yesterdays blog I found a piece of heart shaped shell, 8th pic deep. Hope you come and have a look at Beachcombing Pei
