I wonder about my patchwork of special friends here at NeuroTalk. I wonder that I've met so many people with such a variety of personal concerns. I wonder if you know I pray for you to feel our loving Father in Heaven's gentle arms around you?

As my heart became a loom
When creating this tapestry
I had stitched threads of you
As I wove them around me

With loving textures blending
As I connected each thread
Here among my heartstrings
Its woven in passionate red

Love woven strand by strand
With a heart devoted to you
For inspiration you gave me
Enhanced the colourful hue

While weaving togetherness
Love created a work of art
Attached with forever bonds
In the treasures of the heart

I wonder if you've ever made anything using thread or yarn to hold things together?

I wonder that I love my homemade blankies to nap with, and wonder if you all like to snuggle with special comforters? I wonder that, depending on which I choose, I think of the person who made it. I wonder that my dear daughter did NOT marry the boy who sewed binding onto the red fleece blankey for her birthday?

I wonder that my kitchen countertops got ripped out last night by my DH and I? I wonder if I'll dare use my shiny new countertops after they are installed today? I wonder that 30 years is a long time to look at da same ole same ole? I wonder if you know how many times I've done the happy dance since the lab results were "negative for asbestos" on my cottage cheese ceiling. I wonder that's it's gone (thanks to DH) and ready for new paint!

I wonder how my dear Dad did last night after I gave him one of my MS pills to take for his cancer? I wonder that one pill (LDN) can have so many applications, including MS, Crohn's, autism, and some cancers. I wonder if I'll be able to get a Rx for Dad today?

I wonder how happy I was to learn some good news (following sad news) last night about our dear doctor. He has been away from the office since the death of his son. The son and his wife had just had a new baby the week before. When he died by gunshot, the worst was suspected, but I found out last night they ruled it a non-suicidal death. The clip was out of the gun, but apparently he didn't know there was still a bullet in the chamber. Still, so sad, but perhaps a degree easier for family to deal with.

I wonder about you all, my friends, at this time of year. I wonder how your hearts must ache when the Thanksgiving table is missing that special loved one. I wonder if you'll be able to remember the warmth and happiness that person brought to your heart. I wonder if you'll be able to visualize the memories of that person eating and laughing with the family. I wonder if you can remember the love in their eyes when they looked at you, and the closeness and contentment when you embraced. I wonder if you'll be able to feel an extra helping of peace and comfort this Thanksgiving as you make an effort to focus on happier times.
