So...hello everyone! I have been quietly sitting back reading most of your blogs. <BR/>Linda and Heather, I've read every one and loved seeing this side of your lives. It's been like getting to the real stuff that matters without having to go through the preliminary, boring, small talk. <BR/>Heather I don't even know you really, yet you are exactly what I would expect in a Michele friend. I can't wait to meet you face to face someday- you seem like an amazing gal. Michele DOES have great taste.<BR/>Linda, I've always known you were a way cool older sister- you've just been confirming it. Lately I've been thinking of you as my 'new' friend; not Michele's sister Linda. It's all very good. Now, Michele, I'm still not done To Be Told- so lay off my stories ok?? ;-) I'm working on it, I'm working on it. I've also been reading Summer of my Amazing Luck Great book, love it! Hey is that the author's signature inside the cover? <BR/>Anyways, this is far more than I thought I'd have to say so bye for now.<BR/>G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9629687.post-1118428141676536892005-06-10T13:29:00.000-05:002005-06-10T13:29:00.000-05:00nicely saidnicely saidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9629687.post-1118420153149404432005-06-10T11:15:00.000-05:002005-06-10T11:15:00.000-05:00well I'm not Catholic, but I do think suffering is...well I'm not Catholic, but I do think suffering is a gift, but not in the spiritual gift sense.

I discovered I have gifts for artistic creativity, counseling, suffering (!) and music. Your friend was right: Match the person to the task. It's hard to know who's best suited though, isn't it?<BR/>I've been reading your blog for a month or so, and I think you're a fine writer. That makes you "creative." When you write about your Life, your ideas and insights, you're "brilliant". And when you share them with others, it's "something meaningful". <BR/>Write on, girl.

Here I am at my last chapter and every so often I still think, Heather told me to write. So I should. And I will. And here I am at close to midnight and I should be writing but oh I just had to check your blog. Thanks for not disappointing and thanks for welcoming GLENDA!! Maybe she'll dare post a comment. There's someone with a story to tell. Much love to both of you.
