Understated, much strain for the accent, educated, etc. etc. <BR/><BR/>I love that quote and have used it often in collages, etc., but did not know it was from C.S. Lewis.

I plan to remedy this, starting now! (I was taking an unannounced break.)<BR/><BR/>I was wondering if I may borrow that beautiful painting and quote. I knew the quote and had planned to use it in a collage, but didn't know who write it. C. S. Lewis - of course!!<BR/><BR/>Some friends are such a restful refuge, and some are maelstroms. I have lovely, restful friends, and I also had neurotic friends who put me through the mixer with their problems. They left me as disheveled as a tornado would. <BR/><BR/>Notice I said "had". I had to disentangle myself from such friends, who were only concerned with themselves, and embrace the ones who were concerned about me. AND, because they were concerned about me, I automatically cared about them. Friendship must flow both ways.<BR/><BR/>Joyce, you have shown me such wonderful friendship and I hope I can reciprocate!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693598787241469220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030800955621218907.post-58363127555501938472008-04-19T08:10:00.000-05:002008-04-19T08:10:00.000-05:00Wonderful quote you found Joyce!

It has been such a horrendous week for your entire family, so this will be a much needed way to unwind. You have such a generous soul and I imagine that right now you are aching for all the parties involved, so you must take this time just for yourself and do something that brings you joy. I enjoyed your post about how your family rallies around each other in times of crisis. I have been blessed with a family much like yours, and they have been my rock in times of chaos. Your Daughter is so beautiful (just like her Momma!) and I am glad to see that she will be able to experience a prom yet!! Take care of yourself this weekend and God will take care of you!
