Thanks

The new header and color scheme are from my friend, @moniet. The fact is she has designed all of the headers I've used for the past . . . Sheesh! I can't even remember how many years. It's been a long time. It's one of those things we ordinarily take for granted. I don't ever want to fall into that trap of taking my friends for granted. No doubt it happens to each of us at one time or another, but it's really a good idea to work on staying awake in that area. We take so much for granted. Hot showers, electricity, flush toilets, running water, grocery stores where we can go pick up food. When you think about it there are so many things we can easily take for granted. When life isn't as nice as we'd like it to be, when things don't appear to be going in a way that's in harmony with our ideas of how it should be, it's productive to simply stop ourselves and remember how good life is and why. It's because of our ability to communicate with one another. Our ability to love one another, to whatever degree we find it in our hearts to do. Love is what you do. It's not what you say. You can say anything. The world is full of words that float around in space and cyberspace. They're attached to nothing. No responsibility, no foundation, nothing. Just words and pixels waiting for us to fill them with meaning. Sure, there are people who pump out words with meaning behind them. Some good and some not so good, but few, very few with awareness, compassion, empathy, mercy and love.

Thank you, @moniet for always being there for me. I do appreciate you, your talents, your eye for beauty and your willingness to pitch in and help make James' World a bright spot.
