Ringing that peace bell must have brought some peace, I hope, into your life and into your very being. At least that's the emotion I feel when reading your posting. It seems replete with hope.<br /><br />The dancing children is such a beautiful motif. Perhaps you would like to look at the following video, which shows children and adults around the world dancing. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pwe-pA6TaZk?rel=0<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-74360518669784242242014-08-31T19:34:30.100-07:002014-08-31T19:34:30.100-07:00So sorry to hear your husband is in pain.

I know how draining it can be to have guests when you feel good, much less when you are ill.<br /><br />It sounds like you and Tom have a fine, deep talk on your ride. I have always wanted to write about a supernatural mystery aboard the Orient Express.<br /><br />I can only imagine the golden tolling of that Peace Bell. One of my good friends that moved away is a Buddhist monk. I miss him.<br /><br />Give my best to Samson. Ask the vet about the growling.

I'm glad to hear you husband is starting to feel a bit better, hoping his pains soon fade though, the thing about pain is that it demands to be felt, unfortunately.
