Giving thanks

During the recent Time Of Distress (during which, I am proud to say, I was able to post a blog entry here almost daily) I received assistance from many a person (which assistance was a big contributor to my having sufficient brain and time space to write a blog entry almost daily).

And now that the Distress has died down to mostly just a palm-sweat-inducing memory I want to show my gratitude by giving each of them a little something to mark their kindness.


Isn't it amazing to see all these lilies together in one place? And that's just a representation of the people who brought a meal over, never mind all the other nice ways friends and family showed their love and support.

There is something so elemental about feeding a friend - and something very restful about accepting being fed. Even though it does seem like everybody in my neighbourhood is officially a better cook than me.

Or perhaps I mean 'especially since'?
