We&#39;re grateful for your presence in the blogging world too! It takes a lot to open up and share from your heart like you do, and we&#39;re all honoured that you do so. Your photos are exquisite, as always, but it&#39;s the writing that comes straight from your heart that draws me back time and again. And I&#39;m sure your happy face is quite different from the grumpy kitty--more like Stilton&#39;s! xx jodijodi (bloomingwriter)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-1447288016581324822010-05-24T20:48:04.309+01:002010-05-24T20:48:04.309+01:00Hi RO,<br /><br />Happy blogiversary!<br /><br />I&#39;m very glad you decided to keep a blog, your photos are so stunning, not to mention the friendships formed through the blogging community.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726724983169046453.post-64898794635409482382010-05-24T20:43:54.154+01:002010-05-24T20:43:54.154+01:00(((hugs))) RO and congratulations on having your blog for a year.

It is quite a milestone.<br /><br />Kudos to you for following your heart and moving home. We never know how long we&#39;ll have and it&#39;s important to honor our family connections. I moved across the country (USA) to help my sister, brother-in-law and elderly mother, who died 2 1/2 years after I moved. Though I am still feeling a little lost and unsure of what my future will bring, I am fervently glad for that decision. It was one of the best ones I&#39;ve ever made. Keep growing and enjoying!<br /><br />Barbara H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
