Well I am glad this is a place where it is being discussed in fuller expansion than just the superficial.

I a relieved to be able to keep a thread going here with you and I know a lot of the quiet on this forum is due to my unavailabiltiy of late....apologies for that. I will make it a point to check in a few times a week. Even if it is just you and I for a bit hopefully things will pick up again here and we can revive this wonderful place somewhat.

Along the lines of kindness is its close cousin, tollerance! Of course we speak often about religious tollerance and tollerance of differences amoong us....but tollerance also needs to be down on the day to day level within our homes and with those we are closest to! Tollerance for the most mundane things such as other family members' foibles and failings to be perfect often is where we all fall short.

Then of course there is that old basic...balance which has to walk hand in hand with tollerance. Afterall one can only take so many dirty socks on the floor!! LOL!!

Hugs and much love and light,
Dreemy
