With you on the journey, Sylvia and Steve. And kindness really matters - thanks for the reminder that all the little kindnesses we offer can mean so much to someone else.
Thank you, Irene! Sorry for the late reply. We have been away in the north woods this past week. No computer action there! And, yes, all the little kindnesses matter.
Indeed I do! Tea on the porch sounds like just the ticket!
Sorry for the late reply. We have been away this past week...up in the north woods for a week of peace. What a week to be away! (We did get to follow the news, but only spasmodically and loosely. Catching up now. )
Thanks so much for your response to this post and the worthy reminder for self-care. Also for the new nickname!
So our usually quiet neighborhood has been invaded by well meaning machines. (The town and water department are replacing all of our streets’ plumbing!). So we gotta wait for our front porch time together. But I’m thinking all will be quite good, quite soon.🤪
Thank you, Kharma. I don't know if I would have ever known the truth of this message as deeply as I do now without being in a position to observe how kind people are to Steve.
Sorry for the late reply. We have been up in the north woods this past week. No computer action up there ... a real rest!
Thank you Corey! We live in a world that plays up our differences and tries to cast us as being on various competing sides. But, I have noticed that people usually come through when presented with the opportunity to help someone out. What a blessing. Sorry for the late reply. We have been up in the north woods this past week. No computer action up there!
I imagine you will be hearing a little bit about our trip soon! I need to get us all sorted out first before I sit down to write again. At the moment, there are bags and boxes of vacation stuff strewn throughout the kitchen hall and bedroom ... !
I completely understand. Remember coming home from our trips to Maine. Takes a bit to be resettled again. Will be looking forward to when you can write about your trip!

Oh, Thank You, Sparky. Important, timely reminder.
And let’s both tip our hats at the importance of self kindness, as well.
Sometimes it’s challenging to exhale and let ourselves receive the simple forgiveness or time we’d easily give to others.
Wanna come for tea on our front porch soon?

It's been noisy over here, too. Repaving our road. Why repave our road and not Maine Street? I don't know.
But, summer in Maine means construction projects!
Porch time is worth waiting for!
Thank you for the reminder and the powerful and vulnerable truth telling.

Richly deserved for all of you! So glad you experienced some rest!
What a week to be away, though! I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved to have missed all the action!
We had a wonderful time.
Yes, we all need to be reminded how helpful + kind people really are. And we need to be reminded to be one of those helpful, kind persons
Thank you, Sylvia

North woods? Sounds like an adventure!!
I do enjoy your post.
Blessings on you both.

I’m so glad to read the fullness of this story, Sylvia. It has calmed me!
Wonderful. I am so glad. Thank you!

Always hi to Steve
