Oh, such beauty in simplicity, especially when it's woven with such care and emotion ... this is like a warm, sexy blanket - where can I buy one, (or three)?!? Superb, Jean - into my favs, this gem goes! Great to see you "around", a little sunshine for me. ;o) <3

Good morning Greg. This is one I had deleted but had to repost in order to use the greeting card maker thingie. I am finishing off my fifth book of sixty poems, where I have matched each poem to a photo. I use CHATBOOKS. That's what has been keeping me so busy. You can share my blanket anytime Greg.xx

For sure, human touch is not to be underestimated. I see my dear divorced friend who needs even a friend’s hug.

Hugs are so good. I'm just back from a dinner out with two friends and we had a group hug before separating.

Hi Vijay. I still miss the touch of a lover . Touch is one of my favourite things. Even with women in labour, as a midwife, I know instinctively the power of touch to convey calmness.
