There is a side of friendship that develops better and stronger by correspondence than contact...The absence of the flesh in writing perhaps brings the soul near.
::Emily Carr::
Suffice it to say i am a little obsessed with photos of hands lately. Maybe it is because as i struggle through my divorce and unemployment i often feel hands reaching out to me. I have never known a more supportive group than those who read my blog, than those i now consider friends because of my blog.
Today is the birthday of an amazing friend that has been there for me more than i can say. Through thick and thin, good times and bad. She has been there. I want to wish her a happy birthday. K - you know i wish i was there to celebrate with you. Coffee ice cream with almonds for you and with chocolate chips for me and of course a good long chat. Happy birthday my friend and thanks for being you.
ps. mary when i took this picture i thought of you!
There is so much happiness in your recent posts, Jen. I'm still praying for the best for you...you deserve it. xoxo

I can sympathize with love for the friends of the blog world. It's astounding to find support and understanding across the country. I love stopping in hear and finding the sweet things you've decided to share with us. It's like reaching out and saying "hello!"

Congrats on your new home. How are you liking being on typepad? I've been thinking of moving to typepad a lot lately.
