Hi Hutch, yes, I have the same blue purple motley coloring, can't stand the cold, I wrap a cold glass with a paper towel and use gloves in and out of the house, soft cashmere gloves. The poem is so true and writtin with such insight as only one has that is going thru such suffering. Thinking of others and not our pain in the only way to survive.
I'm grateful for so many things and people in my life. Even those that don't seem to understand aren't as compassionate as I would like. I'm sure it's difficult for them to understand what we are goiong thru. Best wishes, Loretta
