and I tried to say this about signing greeting cards below too:

I guess if you don't have a personal connection to the recipient, 'best wishes'/ 'thinking of you'/ 'take care'/'get well soon'/'have a good birthday'/'enjoy your retirement' and your name are fine?

Write, thank you.
I am fascinated and moved by this woman:

Quote

Last night fell asleep dreaming of children. Warm and laughing — ones I've known, and of my own — the ones I'll some day have. Dream of holding them, the weight and smell and feel of them, the easy way love will come in like a benediction — of all the things I have to teach them. First thing I'll tell them about is trees — of how to be still and listen to them. Because at night, through this deep silence a calmness descends and you almost feel yourself being breathed. And laying there, cocooned in the bag, listening to the comings and goings of the wind, giving up your fears to a sky riddled with stars, it's easy to feel that things are being said, feel yourself leaning towards the trees, straining to hear. But some things are best left unsaid...

She seems like a wonderful example of hope and determination:

Quote

And that is one of the things that has continued to amaze me these past few months, the way life fights for itself. The way I continually adapt to survive, despite myself often, but it happens. You get up to fight another day. And sometimes what saddens me most is knowing that I always will...that no matter what happens, I will be here to face it. Get exhausted sometimes just considering the mountain I have to scale to get out of this situation, but know that somehow I will.

Arguably belongs on your "Intention and the Universe" thread, eh Hops?

Thanks write.
