I too...Thanks for sharing your thoughts Stephanie. I too love the Giving Tree. One of my favourite books. What the tree desires is so simple -- for her loved one to be happy. And yet what she gives away in order to help make that happen leaves her in an complicated place. And often she is so very lonely. But would she change things and go back, decide to give less? I don't think so.<br /><br />You are a shiny new leaf. You will find the right quilt where your shape and colour fit perfectly. Maybe a new quilt maybe an old one. These past couple of weeks I have been wishing that the old grey quilt could see that adding colour and shape to itself would make it new again. Then maybe it could wrap itself around the whole world and make everyone feel warm and welcome. I am playing a waiting game in my own way these days. I don't know where my next step will take me. Waiting is hard. <br /><br />In the meantime, I stand with you, offering everything I have with love. Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931550647986821507noreply@blogger.com
