Also it rings bells for me too, as you probably know. Forty years ago was 1977 and I was newly divorced with my two year old boy, trying to sooth my troubled parents, both deeply concerned about my predicament. My career saved me and I was able to survive well enough alone – with my friends and family's constant support-from-a distance and I learned much and eventually strengthened, becomng a better person, I hope. Then J came along and – well really it's true to say – saved us. Your father's response to the summer solstice made us smile too; it's what J always says! The summer solstice, I think, is both glorious, sad and hopeful, like all turning points. By now – especially in the recent heat – I llook forward to the crisp bite, the mellow glow of autumn, the more restful days of wine, which I don't shun as much as I used to. All all that you've said here over the years that I've been following, have reinforced my appreciation of so much that is already important to me. The shortening days are difficult but candle light beckons with its graceful, fluttering dance. <br />Happy Solstice again to you, <br />Miri, with love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-72127281138523327462017-06-22T16:08:39.212+01:002017-06-22T16:08:39.212+01:00Give her a hug from me and wags from the girls :-)...Give her a hug from me and wags from the girls :-)Angie Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119123733934337373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055598777203654547.post-64546390491988396702017-06-22T12:45:49.920+01:002017-06-22T12:45:49.920+01:00What a wonderfully inspiring and uplifting read.
