For the past several weeks, I've done quite a lot of linking, outright lifting, and copying other people's work and little original writing. At the very least, give me points for linking to those to whom credit is due. I've been called to take on demanding family responsibilities which leave me less time online and somewhat drained of creativity. I'd like to say this, too, shall pass, but I'm fairly certain that the situation will not change any time soon. Sooo, bear with me, if you will....
Do take care, Grandmere! We shall survive our impoverishment of your clever originality for the time being. And who knows? As you bear your current challenges, they may well inspire brilliants posts in the future. Till then, prayers and blessings.
ReplyDeleteEven your links and lifts are evidence of your creative mind! Prayers ascending for you and yours. And don't forget to be good to yourself always!
ReplyDelete{{{Mimi}}} Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteAm TOTALLY stealing that cartoon: That's My Life! ;-X
Why do I tear up when you, my good readers, show compassion?
ReplyDeleteNo one is ill or dying or anything. My son is a single dad, and it ain't easy. Grandpère and I try to help him as much as we can.
Oh, and thank you all for your prayers, hugs and kind words.
ReplyDeleteThere is absolutely no way to convey how much your intelligence, wit and good 'ole Southern common sense and charm lift my spirits every day. Prayers that all God's tender mercies and living waters pour into your life and the life of your family.
ReplyDeleteAND, like JCF I am lifting this cartoon. It is hilarious good.
((((Mimi and Tom))))
ReplyDeleteBonnie and susan s., thank you so much. You are too kind.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon is funny, isn't it?
chere Mimi
ReplyDeletein whatever way, to whatever degree it may be, your online work, but more importantly,your presence is a great gift not only to our network of concern but to the larger Church (and I might add, a force to be reckoned with).
so do what needs to be done, and you and Tom please take care and know this medium and the Church are both more hopeful, honest mediums for having June in their midst.
We love you, Mimi, regardless of how much or how little you are able to post. I echo the thoughts that have been posted thus far. We are with you in spirit and pray for ongoing strength for you and your family. Love from the cats, too!
ReplyDelete(((((Mimi))))) I forgive you! :-)
ReplyDeleteDavid, whiteycat, and KJ (you nice boy), thank you for your lovely words. We'll muddle along with God's help, having good days and not-so-good days. You can't know what the prayers and concern of friends like you mean to us.
ReplyDeleteDear MIMI and Tom,
ReplyDeleteBeen there and done that! When u least expect it, things will happen and the load will lighten!
Love your blog, glad u will keep it going. Maybe for now it will be like the Pope's image of the Church - smaller but purer! O.k. am leaving now :>)

Nij, if my blog is to be pure, then I'm afraid I'll have to ban you and a good many others. :-D
ReplyDeleteOh, KJ! Thank you for forgiving me.
