I think that, given what it was, you might have been given that glimpse into Stella's past life while she was thanking you for saving her and suggesting that you save another. It is a marvelous episode that I will long remember, kj.<br /><br />The kissing....and not even their children when the children become adults (or at least that was the way it was in my case). My mother tenderly kissed me on the lips a week before she died. It surprised me so, and she definitely had her own agenda by not asking for the kiss but by using that element of surprise. Afterward, she said, "There. That was a <em>real kiss</em> between mother and daughter."Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-24943090603732427302012-01-11T21:05:05.715-05:002012-01-11T21:05:05.715-05:00I loved this sneak peek into your world.

And I would love to travel the back roads of ireland and sing in the pubs with the locals. County Cork, etc. I'd just lie on the green hillsides and make pictures out of clouds.<br />And I'd love to go to Banff.

I still witness it my mind and I think of that dog so often. And here you rescued darling stella from an abusive situation and made her the happiest loved dog ever. It's a good thing you did. I think she was sending some sort of loving message - she would. <br /><br />Galapagos and maybe Fiji And Kenya. And Scotland again. And Sicily to live for a year. <br /><br />Love,mimMimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-5907079914739964522012-01-10T14:42:31.850-05:002012-01-10T14:42:31.850-05:00I'd love to read your book on happiness.

I don't know if the man and his dog vaporized, or what, but how sad that that poor dog was being bullied. I am hopeful, but not as hopeful as I once was. I am living more in the moment, which I do love. I know which things are the things I should be worrying about, and I am getting better at letting go of the others. Traveling?
