Memorial Day, May 31, 2010

It has been a day of mixed grieving, sorrow for those who have died in wars everywhere, but also for certain friends and loved ones. There is no loneliness more empty and cold than knowing we can never meet again on this earth, and that the laughter we have shared has turned to tears - sincere and uncontrollable.

I thank my friend of many years, Jean Ullrey, who said a silent prayer in church yesterday for me. She has always reminded me that a stack of interesting books waiting to be read, and time to read them in comfort, is one blessing we have in common.

More about everything I can think of will be in the following blogs. I will welcome my Twitter and Facebook friends and I do hope to read a comment from them now and then in answer to questions posed here, if any.
