Linda,
I certainly appreciate your acknowledgement of my note and, those who have commented so kindly about it, your family has been here with us off and on today and where our key point when we gave thanks as we sat together as a family for lunch (being 'down under' we are around 12 hours ahead of you folk, it's almost 7pm Saturday as I write this). I hope as your Saturday begins you will find some small comfort in the remnants of our thoughts for you.
One of the (10 million) reasons I have started this hobby (read as obsession) is in an attempt to translate my writting into a more graphical format, I figure if a picture paints a thousand words, I can save myself a lot of words . In no way do I mean to be overtly modest - simply honest by saying that whilst your kind words are very much appreciated I can't take a great deal of credit for what I see as simply using a gift that has been given to me - after all, there is little any of us can do to 'create' our talents - refine and exercise them yes but - I'm not big on taking credit for things I have been gifted - it would be a little bit like taking credit for my height or the colour of my eyes. BTW, I'm not a church living, soap box preaching Bible basher, I just know the truth, have an unwavering faith and believe that such things are a very personal - one on one experience. - (oh and of course, I'm just such a tremendous bloke )
Your family will continue to be in our thoughts Jazz - the way you post it would be impossible to forget you - chatterchatterchatter . Thank you for allowing my family to be a small part of yours for a few hours today.
Keeping the Faith!
