Thank you for that wonderful thought for the day. My time at the moment is consumed by organizing and managing family assets after my parents passing. Friends are extremely impressed at how I've been copeing with an extremely full plate of responsibilities. Above all, I treasure the love I receive from them. It will survive well beyond when my health and body fail. When the window arises I do wish to meet you, perhaps when you visit San Francisco. Warmest blessing and metta, Russell What an inspirational goal to share; “the UNCONDITIONAL celebration of another…” Thank you for that wonderful thought for the day.

My time at the moment is consumed by organizing and managing family assets after my parents passing. Friends are extremely impressed at how I’ve been copeing with an extremely full plate of responsibilities. Above all, I treasure the love I receive from them. It will survive well beyond when my health and body fail.

When the window arises I do wish to meet you, perhaps when you visit San Francisco.

Warmest blessing and metta,

We've over-exercised the word to the point where it has become nearly meaningless. For example: I love ice cream. I love the Chargers. I love to take naps. I love you... How do you feel... now that you know I feel the same way about you as I do ice cream, naps, and the Chargers? :) I just "love" that definition of the word love that you gave us: "celebration of another." I celebrate you! :) doug Dear Caitriona,

I just “love” that definition of the word love that you gave us: “celebration of another.”

I celebrate you! :)
