We may call ourselves
old
tired
aching
but as soon as we hang up
our dancing shoes
and put away
those lovely outfits
that stir life
like a well made cocktail
it is then
in the glow of firelight
and solace of old age
we rediscover the child
waiting within
as eager as ever
to reach out
on tip-toe

Lovely!
So glad to see you back. Had obviously wondered what happened. And what a nice way to end the year, reading your beautiful words!
You are so lovely my friend. Thank you so much. Happy New Year to you for tomorrow. I hope you have a wonderful 2017. I did close my account down because of some online madness, but with this similar account I am back 🙂 so appreciative of your kindness my friend.
Ugh, I’m sorry to hear you had trouble.
And thank you so much, you too!
I’m so very grateful for your encouragement. 🎆🎉🎊🍷
You have it and then some my friend. Hoping this is a good year for us both. xo

Lovely! 😍
Thank you!
Can it really be me? 😉
I appreciate you G.
Oh, yes. You have it in you
So good – and they look like they are having a LOT of fun !!
We appreciate one another. How was your trip and your holiday?
Always an emotionally difficult/challenging time to ‘go home’ but necessary. xo
I think they are! Definitely the way to go!
Returning home can be like a high school reunion.
mmm having never been to one I cannot say though I would think ‘fear and loathing’ might be apropos?
Well I think self esteem issues and progress from the high school mentality might be issues. Some never ever impress enough when returning to a high school reunion or home to visit the folks.
I enjoyed my 2 past H.S. reunions because I never did give a damn what folks thought of me, even in H.S.
A commendable attitude and approach ♡
My Friend, I wanted to thank you for your support. You have that rare thing, a pure and good heart and I know that and I am SO grateful to know you. You affect people in such a positive way, every week, I hope you know that. I hope you know how appreciated and loved you are. xo
Sarah, If I have never told you before how much your writing moves me, how much your insight and compassion in this world is needed and valued, then I hope you read this because I truly feel that way and I am always, always so grateful for your friendship and your existence in this WP land because you are a light and a goodness we all need so very much. I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend. Thank you.
Oh my. I didn’t expect such a lovely compliment. I’m always here and I’m so very lucky to know you.
Oh my gosh Candice, this means so much to me, thank you! I will never forget the kind way you encouraged me early on in my blogging. I love that WP can bring such different people together who share love of writing, and your talent has inspired me so much! I am very grateful our paths have crossed too. You are unique and intriguing and the honour is mine xo
♡
I believe in you xxx
