I truly enjoyed your rendition of this meme, and plan to incorporate it into my own blog.

Your generosity is always so wonderfully extravagant. <BR/><BR/>My parents always said I was "a character," but I don't think they meant it quite the way you do. <BR/><BR/>There is a template for this meme, which will explain the change in style you noticed. I used it as a jumping-off point but didn't follow it precisely. <BR/><BR/>Mariposa,<BR/><BR/>I do believe the hardest things in life are the ones that most help us in our development.<BR/><BR/>Ian,<BR/><BR/>I hoped my comment would make you giggle as it did me.<BR/><BR/>You are a most treasured friend around these parts, too.<BR/><BR/>Citizen,<BR/><BR/>You're sweet, but aren't all children gorgeous, really, before life gets to them? <BR/><BR/>Meno,<BR/><BR/>I ain't skeered. Wussy Tom is skeered but not ole Huckleberry.<BR/><BR/>Sister,<BR/><BR/>As always, you are perceptive. In an earlier comment, when I said that writing this had made me oddly happy, I was referring to the feeling that a shift had taken place. I felt more acutely alive and at peace with my soul afterward. <BR/><BR/>There must be magic in this exercise.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-24184579051426664772008-02-12T15:27:00.000-08:002008-02-12T15:27:00.000-08:00I get a sense that a healing of some sort took pla...I get a sense that a healing of some sort took place as this was being written.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354299078292553141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-28435873773423567772008-02-12T14:47:00.000-08:002008-02-12T14:47:00.000-08:00That was very clear and moving.
