I so enjoyed the simplicity of your posting today--seeing you at one with nature and your surrounding. I can easily see why your writing has won awards. And congratulations on your three columns being winners. That's exceptional, I think.<br /><br />I so like the last paragraph of your posting: "I’ve learned there’s a rhythm to life. Just when you think it will rain forever, a ray of sunshine breaks through the clouds and it’s like a harbinger signaling that good things are on the way. The trick is to weather the storms." That truly speaks to me as I struggle to find readers for the stories I write.

So... howdy!<br /><br />Congratulations on the writing awards. Not only is it super to be recognized by your peers, but winning awards for the newspaper also sounds like a healthy shot of job security, too. <br /><br />I looked through some of your posts, and really like your laid-back style. It's obvious why you won those awards. Consider me your newest groupie.

I guess that's where faith comes in. Congratulations to you on a few fronts.

I retired to the desert mountains of California where we have not had enough rain since 2010, I think. Everything here is beige and dull, no wild flowers, not even any lilacs on my bush. But it will change in another year. Nature teaches us patience, I think. <br /><br />And you are a wonderful writer.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-78803044527762141702013-05-21T09:41:11.166-05:002013-05-21T09:41:11.166-05:00Hey Jane, I saw it already.

All you have to do is enter and someone is at your beck and call to help..no wonder they have survived the big box store craze..service with a smile and the knowledge to back it up! I do hope the rest of your year continues to be better and smiles and nice scenic drives are the norm!
