Life can get complicated and busy at times and it's hard to keep up with all the things we want to do (so many things have been slipping by for me lately and reading blogs is on that list!).<br /><br />I am so glad to know that you're sending thoughts and prayers. And thank you, also, for your flurry of encouraging comments. So glad to know that my posts bring you joy.<br /><br />This, too, shall pass, and I know that I'll be learning a lot along the way. Life can be incredibly difficult at times, but it can also be gloriously beautiful. <br /><br />Thanks so much, Nancy.<br /><br />xoAnne Buterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090778223286237879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-82156726910074229192016-02-21T13:14:55.915-06:002016-02-21T13:14:55.915-06:00Hi, Laura.

You are one of the most positive people I know, Anne. Keep that positivity during this current bump in the road.
