Gifts

Life gives then takes away

Funny how life can take you by surprise
And bring you a wonderful gift
Only to leave you with just the wrapping paper the very next day..
I think I might go away from you my friends 
For a wee while 
With my wrapping paper 
And think on the gift it once held
For it held the promise of greater things
But the stars were crossed
And seemed to say
This gift is not for you yet
But wait a while
My friend 
Perhaps something better will come your way

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

Sometimes gifts are shiny little trinkets that enamore our thoughts to take away from the actual present. That you were the gift all along. In a sea of words only you can give them voice and thought. Sometimes what is more meaningful is who is behind the words. Whether you write for the world or write for yourself never stop. Because the greatest friendships start with single words. Continued success in your writing journey and the bonds made by it.

For whatever the reason to have a break, temporary escape can become a Linus blanket, a warmth that dilutes stress and doubt. We all need it now and again, especially these days. But, come back soon and share yet more of your wonderful gift. Take care, keep safe. Please.

Time away is a much needed commodity around here. Refresh and relax, and come back so that I can get to know you better, ok? Take care!

Have a restful break, but be sure to come back. It has been a delight to read you Caroline. It's nice to meet new people in our playground. You have only just begun.
