Happy Birthday my dear sweet friend. Because of your encouragement I have found a whole new world existed...."blogging," because of you I realized there truly are no strangers in my life only friends I have yet to meet, and because of you I have learned that the words Silent and Listen have the same letters in them and they are your favorite words, which by the way describe you perfectly.
You have shared your wonderful family, your home and the beautiful land where you live with all of us. With each of your post and comments I see the love you feel for your family, nature and friends. It could be a heart shaped rock, a delicious recipe or a visit from one of God's amazing creatures, your photo's show how you appreciate them all. The pictures of your grandchildren are so heartwarming and I love knowing how close you are to each of them.
In your quiet way you have shown all of us what can be accomplished with a smile and a heart full of love. Thank you for being my friend. Love you bunches and know that I am wishing you a very Happy Birthday....may it be your best day ever. Big Hugs to Alivia.......:-)

Happy birthday to your friend, Bernie. Sounds like she did us all a good turn if she was responsible for introducing you to the world of blogging.
ReplyDeleteIf Wanda was responsible for you starting off blogging, then *Thank you Wanda* is as important as *Happy Birthday*

ReplyDeleteHi Bernie Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post about your precious friend Wanda. Happy Birthdays from friends are the best kind of all. You wrote so elequently sweetie, and I know you touched her heart, as you surely did mine.
I love the words and "Listen" especially. If the world only listened more.
Thank you for your prayers sweetie, they mean more to me than you could ever know.
Much love and so many hugs, Sherry
Hi Sherry, felt so bad when I read about you sons dog...so hard to lose a pet I know.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Wanda is very special to me, to all of us really. Have a wonderful day sweetie....:-) Hugs
Bernie,
ReplyDeleteI did receive your e-mail about Wanda's birthday. I don't know why your mail said that you didn't receive it. I even e-mailed you back.
Knowing that it was Wanda's birthday, I would never have forgotten it because it has been a pleasure to know her. I left a message on her blog wishing her a happy birthday plus I send her a birthday e-mail. Thanks for letting me know Bernie.
I need a hug.
ReplyDeleteTell me. How long did it take you before you were fine (finally) on being, well, y'know, "On My Own" ?
Anne, I'm sorry I didn't receive an e-mail from you, I'm not sure where it went to as I even checked my deleted bin just in case I missed it. The important thing is you remembered our friend's birthday, all is well so not to worry. I have e-mailed you Ann, I wanted to see if it would go through ok. Have a great day my friend.......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteSilver, big hugs coming to you, it doesn't ever go away sweetie you just learn to accept it and your way of living changes, you get to a point of "new normal" and then a contentment sets in. Be gentle with yourself sweetie, there will be bad days yet but also good ones and those are the ones you try and duplicate, love you......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteBernie,
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is everybody having problems with blogger? Whenever I try to publish a comment it disappears. I scanned my computer for viruses but it was clear. I read that you said blogger wasn't cooperating with you today and was wondering if you were having similar problems. I have had other difficulties with it lately too. I can't figure it out.
Hi Mary, yes many people are having trouble with blogger. These problems usually resolve themselves within a few days, lets hope it does this times as well.
ReplyDeleteI will keep an eye on your post to see if you have worked it out, let me know if you hear from blogger administrators......:-) Hugs
