I hope all is well with you.<br /><br />Yes, even though I'm as busy as before, I'm getting more things accomplished, and that helps with frustration levels tremendously.<br /><br />So glad you stopped by, my friend. Take care and God bless. Good luck on your reclaiming your life.Claudette Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323759000341863947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777642193089695807.post-1981442884500709112012-05-29T16:22:15.541-06:002012-05-29T16:22:15.541-06:00I'm glad you've found your way, Claudette....I'm glad you've found your way, Claudette.

It's that last turn that is the hardest to find," I said as I sat down beside her.<br /><br />She smiled and leaned into me before she placed a speckled hand on my arm. "I always had faith in you; knew you would come this way at the right time for you. Now that you have, are you happy?"<br /><br />I looked at her, thinking about the younger women who had passed her lessons so many years before. "What is happiness, my precious friend," I asked, "except the touch of a loved one when most needed?"Claudette Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323759000341863947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777642193089695807.post-79048352186680307442012-05-24T18:57:43.156-06:002012-05-24T18:57:43.156-06:00But along the way is where I wish to be.

Through glistening eyes she looks at me, "Why Jack, I've been sitting here so very long, hoping you would come this way." Her gaze soon drops upon the path and in a quiet voice, "I asked every passerby, many told me of your failure, but there you are a last. What has kept you so very long?"Henry J.

Along the path grow wild roses, sweet with fragrance, bight of color, spotted with dew, a fairy's drink for one in need.<br /><br />With berries, blossoms, and fairy dew one can feast a day away or make it through a moonlit night watching fireflies among the trees.Claudette Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01323759000341863947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7777642193089695807.post-35627685002277091642012-05-23T14:41:50.227-06:002012-05-23T14:41:50.227-06:00Thanks, Patricia.

I took this path and I tread it to this day.Henry J.
