Thank you.



For several reasons I will not be writing this blog again.

I would like to thank the many people who have shown interest and left kind comments. I will be reading your blogs, but not commenting under this name.

I send you all my very best wishes.
I have enjoyed meeting you.

    I am raising a toast to serendipity. You were there when I needed it.
    I knew it when I saw your last post. That's a lovely tribute I thought. Although it took a couple of days to reason it out.
    Thankyou so much for your hospitality.
    I have dropped in every day and used your links as a spring board. It has been like popping in on a friend.
    God Bless

    But,... but,... where will we go now to read such distinctive and wonderful writing!?

    I've loved coming here to read and laugh and ponder. I do hope we'll get many more opportunities to enjoy your writing, whether it's as a blog or in other forms.

    I'm sad, of course. I've only just found you.

    Please feel free to write me directly,

    Now this makes me sad. Sigh. I can only echo Pohangina Pete.

    Thank you for the pleasure your blogging has given in all its moods and textures, RR. You write so well and I too hope that you will continue in some shape or form. And thank you, of course, for introducing yourself to me.

    I'm just glad we aren't losing touch in real life.

    Oh dear. Hope we see you online elsewhere, and perhaps you'll find another outlet for your wonderful writing and perspective. You know where I am!

    I hope all is well with you, and wish you well in the future. Yours has been a most interesting and thought-provoking blog, and I will miss it - but perhaps contact can continue?

    And I have only just found you - I have hardly begun to know you. Perhaps we shall find you somewhere else on the web some day. I hope so.

    Oh Judith, I'm so sad to hear this. I haven't commented much, but I have enjoyed much. You are a truly gifted writer.

    Still, some times these decisions have to be made. I too hope we'll see your writing else where.

    I haven't forgotten I owe you an email :-)

    Aroha-nui,
    Anne-Marie

    Anne-Marie: I appreciate your comment, from one writer to another.
    At least I have learned to use a digital camera, although not everyone will agree with that statement!

    Dear R.R., I'm so sorry not to have your blog to pop into for new ideas, new perspectives on life, for something new to think about. You've made me laugh with your wit, as well as sometimes bringing a tear to my eye, and always you've provided food for thought. I'll miss your writing, but at least your posts are still there to reread.

    Peregrina: Thank you so much for the very kind comments. Yes, I will leave the blog sitting there! I'm glad that I've learned a bit about blogging, and even more glad that I have encountered so many warm and responsive people.

    Oh, no! How sad for us all. I too have so much enjoyed your writing. At least you've announced your departure, though. It's even sadder when people simply vanish.

    Do let us know if you decide to return.

    I will miss your writing. I am sad. But I hope you are well. My comments, although very late in response to your last post, are sincere.

    Take care,
