It set me thinking how many things I treasure and keep. All special gifts at one time . One is a handmade heart from the writer, it's in front of me everyday, has done for many years. I think these treasures are important reminders of people's thoughtfulness and love. Thank you, xxxx

I know, this saving-for-best has been ingrained in us. I have a lovely set of Rosenthal china gifted to me by my German boss. It gets used for Christmas and when we have special guests, which isn't very often anymore. I dragged it across the Atlantic when we moved to Spain. When Covid hit, I decided to use the china every day. Why not? It's a setting for 12; if something gets broken, there are plenty more pieces! This journal is very special. I'm glad you are using it.

Darlene, your Rosenthal China sounds beautiful and it's lovely that you use it for every day. Covid opened up space for us to gain new perspectives didn't it? Much love to you and Paul. Xx ❤️

Thoughtful gifts tend to be given to thoughtful people I find. Like you, Jane.

I’m glad you’re using the journal, wearing the shoes and letting those ear-rings be a touchstone to the love that accompanied you to the hospital.

Love in all its forms. May it be the background music to everything you’re all going through. Together 🫂
